Continuing with yesterdays post on 20 tips to reduc your home’s carbon footprint, here is another ways to reduce your footprint.

Most peoples carbon footprint comes from their car. Daily driving of combustion engines continues to grow our carbon footprint. Planning your trips and cutting down on travel can lower your carbon footprint (sounds easy? Lets do it!). I know since I sold my STI this past July, I have been without a car. Now don’t get me wrong I still drive, but I share a car or borrow one. Their are many downsides with not having a car, but here are 10 reasons to ditch a car.

If you are not feeling up to the challenge of ditching a car, why not take the 10 mile pledge. I know when I had my car I would just go in run my errands without thinking of what I need exactly, knowing that I could always run back out if I forgot something. By eliminating this extra trip and writing a list of stuff I need to do and pickup I could lower my carbon footprint. The article also suggest that you have a car-free day every month. This is a great alternative and also allows you to relax at home and reset. Getting up early Saturdays and doing all your errands can allow you to relax the rest of the week and could allow you to have a car free Sunday every weekend.

Driving is just 1 way to reduce your carbon footprint, what are you doing to lower your footprint?
