• Walk, cycle or use public transport whenever you can
• Try not to use your car for short journeys – 1.5 miles (2.5 km) or less
• Don’t start your car engine until you’re ready to move off
• Don’t rev the engine unnecessarily – try and drive in the highest gear possible for your speed
• Drive smoothly – heavy braking and rapid acceleration means that you use more fuel
• Keep to the speed limit
• Look after your car – keep the engine properly tuned and the tyres at the right pressure

By actively working with schools and businesses, we are aiming to teach children from an early age that sustainable transport can be both fun and convenient.
