What we do !

We use the car

to often.

Why we don‘t do what we should

do !?• We love car

rides and we want the most beautiful and fastest cars.

• It‘s faster to go to a other place.

What we (car lovers) can do …

•Buy smaller cars, with low consumptionof fuel • Share your car with someone, whenever is possible•Take the bus or the tram• Drive efficiently for decrease your fuel consumption and air pollution

• Don’t drive too “sporty”. (Every time you accelerate or brake suddenly, your engine uses more fuel and produces more CO2.).

• Use air conditioning only when necessary. (Unnecessary use increases fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by up to 5%.)

• Run with closed windows (This will reduce wind resistance and can lower your fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by up to 10%).

• Remove unnecessary weight (The heavier the car, the harder the engine has to work and the more fuel it consumes.)

• Check your tyre pressure every month. (Under-inflated tyres can increase fuel consumption by up to 4%.)

• Check the oil level regularly. ( Cars can work more efficiently and help reduce CO2 emissions.)

Drive “green”

Buy a “Zero emission vehicle”

Still in vogue

What else we do ?

We waste energy at

home

What we should do !

Move more on foot and go by bike.

What we should do !

• Buy products efficient in terms of energy consumption.

Find the labeled ones as economic.

What we should do ! • Compact fluorescent lightbulbs or CFLs are the smart

choice for lighting your home.• Use motion sensor-lights.

What we should do !

• Make your computer a favor and let him rest.

• When you stop it, pull the plug.

• Do not leave chargers and transformers in the power! They continue to use energy even when they are not in use.

What we should do !

• Reduce the standby losses! Audio systems, televisions, computers and all accessories will continue to consume electricity even when in standby mode.

• So whether you pull the plug on all, or use an extension cord with embedded switch.
