Choose Your Fuel

Cheap fuel is a thing of the past and transport systems have significant impacts on energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. Carpool or check out your alternate transportation options and let someone else do the driving. If you can, purchase a hybrid or other fuel-efficient vehicle. Don’t forget bicycling and walking and you’ll get your exercise too. (Take a pic of yourself using alternative transportation!)
