Combine trips (for errands, etc.) in your personal vehicle.
Description
When you need to travel to several destinations (for errands, events, etc.), combine the trips together. By going from one destination to another in a series, rather than going individually to each one and returning home in between, you reduce your overall mileage driven, and thus reduce fuel consumption.Assumptions We Made
Assume separate trip to two locations would be 20 miles roundtrip, combining trips would be 12 miles (not quite half if you have to drive between the locations). Vehicle fuel economy 20 miles/gallon, cost of gas $3.50/gallonImpacts

Potential Annual Impact
If you carry out this action daily, in a year you could save:- 511.00 dollars
- 146.00 gallons of fuel
- 3212.00 lbs of CO2
