Thought I'd show another example of small choices making big differences.
There are over 200 million licensed drivers in the U.S. alone. Let's round that down to an even 200 million. If every one of those drivers was able to drive 500 miles less per year (a little less than 10 miles less per week), that would be a savings of 25 gallons of gas per driver (based on 20mpg). Doesn't sound like much, but that works out to be 5 BILLION gallons per year saved!
What's really astounding is that works out to
100 Billion pounds less of co2 being put into the atmosphere. How could that be? The link below explains how that is calculated.
How can 6 pounds of gasoline create 19 pounds of Carbon dioxide?
Small choices....big differences.
