Opt for  Eco-friendly Transport

Eco-friendly transport is not as tough as it may seem. We may be stuck in a dilemma whether to opt for eco-friendly transport or just go ahead with our existing car which saves money. But then again, let’s find a way here.

  • Opt for public transport – Public transport is cheap and is good for the environment. They might seem a bit run-down but surely they are better than you stuck in a jam alone in your car at peak hour, right? Airplanes also emit a lot of carbon into the atmosphere. When you are travelling a very long distance, which cannot be covered by public transport like trains or buses, only then buy a flight ticket.
  • Car pooling – We cannot emphasize enough on how efficient car-pooling can be. Whether you are going to your office or sending the kids the school, surely there will be other people who will be doing the same at the same time and hour? Make a pact with those people , find out if they are interested and car-pool. You can put an ad on the internet or go for websites which cater to these requirements .Make sure you are all on the same route. It gives you the dual advantage of being in a comfortable car and travelling fuel-efficiently. It will cut your fuel expenses to almost half.
