Learn, share, live Green Check out http://www.ourgreencommunity.org/, for the latest information tips, videos and events. Determine your carbon “footprint” – the amount of carbon dioxide produced by your life. OurGreenCommunity has a new one, designed for the Sacramento area. |
Check your tires weekly to make sure they’re

When just 1% of car owners properly maintain their cars, nearly a billion pounds of carbon dioxide are kept out of the atmosphere.
|
When it is time for a new car, choose a more fuel efficient vehicle You can save 3,000 pounds of carbon dioxide every year if your new car gets only 3 miles per gallon more than your current one. You can get up to 60 miles per gallon with a hybrid! You can find information on fuel efficiency here and here.

Avoiding just 10 miles of driving every week eliminates about 500 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions a year! Calculate your personal carbon footprint.
