Of all the things you can do to help stop pollution and global warming, changing your driving habits is one of the easiest and least expensive of them all. As with a home, it all starts with efficiency, and efficiency in a car means that we must be more efficient with our miles traveled and our time spent in the car.

Contrary to popular belief automobile emissions are not the largest contributor to global warming and climate change. However, the pollution and emissions from automobiles do make up about 1/3 of all emissions and are in fact the largest polluter in most large metropolitan cities.

Alternative energy or green energy is an environmentally friendly, renewable and non-polluting source of power. Alternative energy comes in many different shapes and forms such as solar power, wind power, tidal power, geothermal power, hydro-electric power, hydrogen power, biomass power, and wave power.
