More than a third of all car trips are two kilometres or less. Instead of driving to the shops, consider walking, cycling or using public transport – you’ll save on fuel, car parking hassles and get fit!
When you’re renting it’s harder to make changes to your home – but it doesn’t mean you have to lower your sustainable living standards.
Save yourself money and time by saving up short errands and making them all in one trip.
Every step makes a difference… and you’ll find 25 of them in this booklet! Together we can really help the environment — the more of us that step up, the bigger the difference we’ll all make.
Walking or cycling short journeys instead of driving a car is a simple way to get exercise, and easy to build into our daily routine.
Consider using public transport if you live in an area where it is available.
A walking school bus is a fun, safe, active and sustainable way for children to travel to and from school with adult supervision.
Ride sharing, or car pooling, is simply sharing a car instead of always driving your own.
Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas responsible for climate change. About 40 per cent of our carbon dioxide emissions come from transport, mainly private cars.
A great way of reducing transport use is to work away from the office – 'teleworking’.
