Environmental factors

There are a number of ways you can reduce your ‘carbon footprint' with regard to the vehicle you purchase and use. You can buy a car that is more fuel efficient; you can drive the car more effectively, drive your car less (i.e. using other forms of transport and/or car pooling) and you can offset your car's emissions by planting trees or investing in renewable power generation services.
