We are all aware of the need to protect the environment ,but sometimes it's difficult for us to do the right thing. For example ,if you are in hurry to go to your work place and if you have a vehicle , you are tempted to use it, although you know that the smoke emitted from the vehicle is harmful to the environment .But ,do you know that making a few simple changes to your habits will nit only do less damage to our environment but will also save your money and could even be good for your health
Try to make use of the public transport . If the public transport service is frequent and reliable , you 'll soon get used to travelling in buses and trains. In fact for shorter journeys why not take the opportunity to maintain your health and walk.
How often do you see cars with just one passenger with the driver making the same journey as others living nearby? Why not share a car with another and halve the cost of the journey ?There are several websites where people can get details and make arrangements to share the vehicle .
When you must use the car ,plan your journey so that you go to all the places you need to visit rather than taking the car out again and again . If you get caught in a traffic jam switch off the engine ,if you're stationary for a long time . Try not to brake too sharply or accelerate too quickly as this will lead to using up more fuel. On mornings don't warm up the engine before you start your journey and when you next put fuel in your car think about whether you really need to fill up the tank . All that extra weight will put more pressure on the engine .
Make sure you carry out the basic maintenance like checking the tyre pressure regularly . Finally ,keep your car regularly serviced so that it runs as efficiently as possible . Steps like this will save your money and help you to do your duty to protect the environment .
