6. Avoid sudden car stops or accelerations


Always observe cars in front of your car and try to foresee situations that could happen. If you do so, you will be able to drive your car without sudden stops or accelerations. Sudden stops and accelerations use much more fuel than driving moderate. Now you know why fuel consumption is so high when you are in town and totally nervous – full throttle, full brake.


Impact: reduce fuel consumption, reduce pollution in the city

5. Separating paper from other waste

Factories for producing paper have to use a lot of clean water, energy and destroy many trees in our neighborhood. If you want to change this, buy wastepaper basket only for paper and start separating paper from other waste. Most sorts of paper are recyclable and could be used for paper production with less energy and less destroyed trees.
Impact: save trees, reduce energy, act green
