If you are a frequent driver, then changing a fossil fuel car for an electric one can have huge benefits. Aside from no longer having to buy petrol (a great bonus considering the skyrocketing fuel prices), an electric car emits an average of 60% less CO2 than a petrol-powered car with an exhaust.

Check out online stores like Tire Rack to order your tires and have them shipped to a local installation shop; it could save you hundreds on your next set of tires. But not everyone can do any or all of these things, which is why it is important to do what you can to make your own existing car a little more eco-friendly if possible.

By avoiding to pay for even little things like plastic bags at the grocery store or recycling and returning your empty glasses, not only do you save money, but you help the planet as well. The challenge that I, along with most people, face is the amount of effort involved in car-pooling and the challenges that come with that.
