How to Live Green, Save Green!

Be conscious of what and how you drive.

• Purchase low emission vehicles. The USEPA’s Green Vehicle Guide can help you decide.
  
• Plan ahead to drive fewer miles. Combine trips, use public transportation, or carpool when practicable.
• Maintain your vehicle, including adequate tire pressure.
• Avoid excess idling.
