Fuel-Free Friday

Transportation is one of the biggest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. Every time we drive a car, we’re not only using fossil fuels but also adding carbon pollution to the atmosphere.

That’s why Fuel-Free Friday is all about exploring alternatives to solo car trips and finding cleaner ways to get around.

Why Going Fuel-Free Matters 

Transportation accounts for nearly one quarter of global CO2 emissions. Every trip without gas help. Biking and walking are great for physical health, and helps you save money on gas, parking, and car maintenance while keeping the air clean. 

Approaches to Going Fuel-Free

Walk short trips 

 If your destination is under a mile away, try walking instead of driving. It’s good for you and the planet.

Go bike 

Biking is one of the most efficient forms of transportation. Even consider an E-bike if hills or distance is a barrier.

Carpool or rideshare

if you need to drive, split the ride with friends, coworkers, or neighbors. Fewer cars = fewer emissions. 

Plan ahead

Combine errands into one trip or plan your route to avoid unnecessary driving.

A Challenge for Today

If everyone skipped even one car trip per week, the collective emissions savings would be massive. Plus, embracing fuel-free habitats often leads to healthier lifestyles and stronger communities.

Challenge yourself: "What’s one trip I can make today without my car?"

Together we can create streets that are healthy and safe for the environment!
