Sustainability Tip of the Week
A simple wish for a better tomorrow
The Hudson Valley Community College’s Sustainability Committee presents its Sustainability Tip of the Week! Faculty, staff and students are invited to share their tips and ideas (j.coons@hvcc.edu) and when used, receive a token of our appreciation.
Alter Your Driving Habits
Small changes to your driving style can make a big difference in carbon emissions.
Stop idling: An idling car gets exactly zero miles per gallon. If you are parked or stuck in a gridlocked traffic jam, turn the engine off.
Accelerate gently: Hard acceleration just takes you to the gas station faster.
Reduce your speed: Think about how much more energy it takes to run than walk. Now think about how much more gas your car uses at 70 mph than at 55 mph.
