Transportation is the second largest emitter of greenhouse gases out there, surpassed only by buildings. Go green and reduce your emissions while softening the blow of high gas prices by planning your shopping ahead of time or bundling online delivery purchases! With how expensive even regular daily travel is these days, driving less becomes both the more sustainable and more practical option for many. Creating a list of everything you need ahead of time and finding stores close to each other so you can do all of your shopping in one trip allows you to drive less, spend less money on gas, and shrink your carbon footprint in the process. Or if you’re getting items delivered, many sites give the option to bundle deliveries to reduce travel and emissions. Think about what you need for the coming weeks, and start planning your next trip or online purchases now to save yourself time, money, and reduce your environmental impact.
