Carbon Road
Driving down your carbon emissions
Often we have no choice but to drive, although we know that causes emissions of greenhouse gases. Despite this, there are some simple steps you can take to reduce their impact on climate change. Here are 10 tips to reduce your emissions during driving.
1. Turn off the engine when stuck in traffic for long periods. If you're stuck in traffic for more a minute or so it is best to turn your engine off in order to reduce their carbon emissions.
2. Instead of leaving your engine running when expected to pick up or drop off passengers to turn your engine out of place.
3. Reducing speed can dramatically reduce the amount of greenhouse gases it produces. Traveling at 56 mph instead of 70 mph reduces fuel consumption by about 10% and if he dropped his speed from 70 mph to 50 mph would reduce carbon emissions his car by a whopping 25%.
4. If you drive smoothly rather than accelerating and braking at all times, can significantly reduce their emissions carbon. It has been estimated that those who drive smoothly and intelligently can save a staggering 30% in fuel consumption compared with those with a right foot heavy. By keeping your distance from the car in front and follow-up can slow traffic ahead efficiently and avoid the constant use of the pause.
5. Make sure your tires are inflated to the correct pressure, you can find the desired pressure on the owner's manual. According to figures provided by the RAC under increasing resistance tires inflated and can increase fuel consumption by up to 2%.
6. Share car journeys reduces the number of cars on the road, but about 40% of car journeys has only one occupant in the car. As Liftshare.org find travel companies and sharing travel expenses.
7. Avoid carrying unneeded heavy items, such as toolkits or golf clubs. The more weight you carry in the car, uses more fuel per mile and the highest carbon emissions per trip.
8. If you are not using them to remove roof racks and / or bull bars. Not only add to the weight of the car, but these elements also increase air resistance, the addition of up to 5% to your fuel consumption.
9. If you have air conditioning installed in trying to minimize their use. At speeds slower to open their car windows and ventilate the car, of course, in place. Note that at higher speeds open windows can create significant drag, so it is best to use the car's ventilation system with air or air if really necessary. Air conditioning can add about 10% to your fuel consumption.
10. Regular service in accordance with the recommendations manufacturer's mileage, make sure your car runs as efficiently as possible, maximizing performance and fuel efficiency and minimize emissions. A service regular saves money in the long term, because the car should last longer and run much cheaper.
