The transportation sector contributes to 14% of global annual emissions. Small changes here can go a long way in protecting the environment.
Here are a few steps you can take:
- Try to use public transportation, a cycle, or walk to work once a week.
- Try to have meetings through video conferences instead of flying to different locations or driving to work if not essential.
- Check your car/bike’s pollution level every six months.
- Plan your day and your purchases for the week to reduce the number of times you use the car.
There is also one massive change you can make:
- Switching to an electric car or a hybrid car.
The small changes in your lifestyle can have a huge impact in the emissions from the transportation section. Planning your week, such as grocery runs, goes a long way in reducing your impact on the environment.
