Can't afford a hybrid? 2 quick tips to a more eco-friendly car

Need motivation to clean out your car? Excess items in the trunk of your car force your engine to work harder, which emits more CO2.  Get rid of the junk in your trunk & make your car more energy efficient.

Turn off your vehicle if you’re lingering for more than 30-45 seconds. It  actually takes less energy to kill and restart the engine.
