Day 65: The Road to Sustainability: Don't Drive Aggressively

Did you know that the jerk who just did a burn-out, sped to the next red light only to slam on the breaks is not only being a nuisance, but also wasting a bunch of fuel, and not to mention wearing out his vehicle faster?

Studies have shown that quick acceleration, speeding, hard breaking and other aggressive driving habits combined can increase your fuel consumption by 25%

Driving smoothly is not only safer and better for the collective mental health of the driving population, but can reduce your carbon footprint!

So, plan ahead to make sure you don't need to speed to get where you need to go, and be a courteous and calm driver!  Not only will it save your money and stress, but it will help reduce your emissions.
