- Clean your car of junk. The more stuff you have in your car, the more you make your car strain.

- If you have a van or station wagon, and you don't use it to transport people, remove the back seat(s).

- If you are doing errands in your vicinity, ride a bike. Um you might not want to go shopping with your bike though, you might fall off. ( be sure to wear a helmet )

- If you need to do errands that are a little farther than you fell like riding on a bike, consider buying a used motorbike or moped. It would be an investment.

- Don't throw away plastics. Bring them to your local recycling compound.

- Buy an echo friendly water bottle, and stop buy more plastic from the store.
