I'm facing a new work week and five days long journey, but here are some tips on how to reduce time on the road and struck again at the clock
Make new friends! more and more cities are car-pooling and car sharing resources to encourage people to walk to their friends and share each day. High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) in major cities for cars of a certain amount of drivers who have and are set out in the lane with fewer people than be trapped, the ticket for the future. HOV lanes save time for travelers and offers a less congested route to the office. car-sharing programs are also popular alternatives. Type a central meeting place and cars of the game. While at first it was against the idea, thinking that cost savings from fewer miles on your vehicle. More important, it's worse than you just to save annoying rush-hour traffic in the days of travel a lot you can imagine!
Look at Car-Sharing! For those who are just having a car during the weekend or once a week for errands, car sharing is the greatest choice for you. Offered by services like Zipcar or local non-profit, this program offers access to members of a fleet of cars at your convenience. How to rent a car, only members have to make a reservation, and get involved in a certain place to collect your vehicle. While there is no monthly fee, the savings in car payments, gas costs, maintenance, insurance, repairs, worth it!
The wheels of the bus go round and round ... If you live in a city where public transportation is available, use it! If four people carpool saves three car pollution imagine saving 30 people in a bus together. Now imagine the savings if 100 people decide to take the train instead of driving! Where to invest up to $ 35 in gas a week and pay for parking, there is a clear benefit to its portfolio of only $ 3 editions every day on the bus or train ticket.
Take a weekend 3 days! This choice may seem lazy, but in reality the transition to a four-day workweek to save energy is everywhere. Change to four days from 10 hours to complete not only a day trip, but it also saves companies, energy consumption reduction of working time of an office for a day. When Marion County, Florida workers be changed to a four-day week, an estimated annual energy cost savings of $ 250,000!
Mark! With a home office, telephone and high-speed network, there is absolutely no maintenance for many telecommuting employees. This not only saves, reducing the revenue of the organizations offices and all the energy you need, but also with two days of telecommuting, 1.35 million liters of fuel could be saved! And, frankly, work at home has its benefits and costs of the time - the time saved commuting and transforming the movement in time with the family or simply a moment of peace of mind out of the benefits of most workers.
If you must drive, take it. If the sale of his trip is not an option to buy a more fuel efficient vehicle. Not necessarily to buy an electric car or a hybrid model. Only the exchange of a massive SUV, gas-guzzling vehicle for a small carrying about 16 mpg to 30 mpg. If you switch to a hybrid gasoline-its' with an electric motor at low speeds or in stop-and-decide-go traffic, you can be estimated at 46 mpg. can save the transition from an SUV to a hybrid for about six gallons of gasoline every week!
Make the time and effort to drive green portfolio not only premiums but also the environment. Try to include at least one of these recommendations into their lifestyle to live a greener life!
