Travelling by car
Sometimes we have no choice but to travel by car, and that’s okay! Here are some great tips / advice if car travel is your only option:
- Try Car Sharing: Car Sharing is a great way of spreading costs, reducing pollution, and even making friends! Car sharing can be a formal or informal agreement amongst colleagues. Check out NottinghamShare for help finding a car share partner, or speak to your colleagues to find out if they live close to you.
- Think about how you drive: follow these 10 fuel saving tricks for greener driving,
- Have you considered getting an Electric Car? The government are currently offering grants for new electric vehicles and charging points, as well as installing lots of charging points across Nottinghamshire.
- Please try to avoid idling: this is where a car engine is left on whilst parked and / or stationary. It’s quick and easy to turn off a car engine and can greatly reduce the amount of toxic air pollution released into the atmosphere: saving our lungs and the planet.
