Ready to hit the road? Before you hop into your car alone, brainstorm other ways you can get from point A to point B while reducing your carbon footprint. Sustainable transport can mean walking, running or cycling to a destination; coordinating a carpool or rideshare; or electric driving. And if you drive your own car, vehicle maintenance plays an important role in reducing CO2 emissions.

Even if you can't always achieve it, choosing environmentally friendly travel, even occasionally, is a (green) step in the right direction.

Eco tips for on the road… welcome to our travel edition! Let's start with the obvious: non-motorized travel (think walking or cycling) is the only way to get around without a carbon footprint. Of course that is not always possible, I understand that. The next step in environmental friendliness is public transport: buses and trains and even carpooling (in a hybrid or pure electric vehicle, of course).

But most of us still live in places where we need a car, and it may not always be convenient to drive together. A few simple things you can do to reduce the impact of driving are:
• Keep your tires at the correct pressure
• Perform regular inspections and oil changes
• Accelerate and brake gently

Oh, and one last thing: if you have to fly, try to book a non-stop flight, it's more convenient for you and creates less CO2 pollution.
