Decreasing your environmental impact doesn't just mean buying a more gas-efficient vehicle. The way you drive can significantly affect your car's level of carbon emissions. Here are a few tips to help you drive greener:
* Avoid "jack rabbit" acceleration: "Flooring" the gas pedal wastes gas and leads to higher pollution rates.
* Think ahead: Anticipate stops so your vehicle can coast to a slow-down.
* Follow the speed limit: Not only does driving 75 miles per hour instead of 65 increase carbon emissions it also lowers your fuel economy by about 10 percent.
