Transport
Transport is another area where we can lower CO2 emissions, and also lower dangerous pollutants like PM10's, etc, which can effect our health.
What can i do?
- Leave the car at home and cycle, walk or take the bus or train
- Walk or Cycle all short journeys - Try out - http://linlithgow.cyclestreets.net/
- Share a car journey with someone else - see West Lothian Tripshare link below
- Holiday in the UK and fly less - not only will you be lowering emissions (especially those released at high altitude) but you will also help to boost the local tourism industry and the related jobs and income.
- If you have to drive, drive efficiently. ECO Driving Tips [link to go here]
- If you replace your car, choose one that is very fuel efficient and clean.
