Daily Tips for Living Well and Doing Good from the editors of Sierra magazine
Driving is one of the least green modes of transportation,
but there are ways of being eco-friendly even while in a car. This
week's tips will help you have less of an impact the next time
you have to drive.

While zero-impact cars and fuels don't (yet) exist, there are
things every driver can do to improve fuel efficiency. One is simply
by driving at a smoother pace - rapid acceleration wastes gas
and increases emissions. Avoid drive-through windows, too: Unless you
drive a hybrid, idling next to a pick-up window for more than 30
seconds actually wastes more gas than turning off, then restarting
your car.
