Lately, many have been raising awareness on the importance of green driving, environment protection and lowering the carbon dioxide emission from energy combustion. This implies that we have to make changes in the way the automotive industry works and affects the world we live in. But, let’s start with us!
GREEN DRIVING
What does it mean to drive green? Well, many factors could be incorporated into your driving style to change your habits, lower the fuel consumption, and minimize the affect your car has on the environment. This way, you can personally and directly make the changes and improve environment protection.THINK WHAT YOU DRIVE AND HOW YOU DRIVE!
Choose a fuel-efficient, low-emission vehicle that emits the lowest amount of greenhouse gases possible. Slow down and anticipate what’s coming – unexpected changes in speed, such as abrupt acceleration and sudden braking, affect your fuel emission and cause damage to your vehicle. If it is an option, use cruise control so your car can help you maintain the speed. Avoid idling if not necessary, anticipate the stops and plan your routes so you can choose the shortest one.MAINTENANCE
Properly inflated tires also help your fuel-efficiency, as well as your air filters – if they are in good condition, so make sure to change them regularly. Another thing you should change regularly is your car’s oil. Regular maintenance helps your car run smoothly and more efficiently. Read our tips on how to provide your car the care it deserves.
It’s almost impossible to imagine our everyday lives without our cars. Nobody expects us to live without them, but there are some changes in our driving style and habits that can improve the way we affect the environment. Our lifestyles change constantly, the way we treat our planet can too. Start with yourself and your car. Today.
