If you’re still driving a gas guzzler, then it’s time to re-think your situation.

Now, more than ever, we are cognizant of the fact that our actions have a direct impact on the environment, meaning we must make conscious decisions to make our effect as minimal as possible. The way we get from point A to point B is one way we can decrease our carbon footprint by choosing alternative means of transportation. Here are a few that are available to you:

• Public Transportation: There are plenty of ways to get around Charlotte without a car of your own!
• Hybrid / Smart Cars: Car manufacturers are finally coming around to the idea that we need better, lower impact vehicles. These two types of vehicles provide you with all the convenience of your traditional car, and have the ability to get much better gas mileage.
