What actions contribute to eco-driving?

I’m big on lowering my carbon footprint. I recycle, avoid plastic bags, and do anything else I can to improve the environment. Recently, I read about eco-driving as a way to reduce carbon emissions. What are some eco-driving tips?

Eco-driving is another great way to reduce your carbon footprint! To become an active eco-driver, follow one or more of these tips:
  • Avoid harsh braking or accelerating
  • Buy a hybrid or electric vehicle (bonus: earn
    tax credits
    in the process)
  • Maintain your vehicle
    and keep the proper tire pressure
  • Turn off your engine rather than idling
By following these tips, you will use less fuel, keep your car in tip-top condition, and further reduce your carbon footprint. If you decide to join the ranks as a hybrid or electric vehicle owner, just make sure to have the proper car insurance coverage at the best price by using the
