Book your travel tickets electronically to reduce paper waste and save a tree or two. Properly inflate your tires and keep your vehicle “road ready” to reduce those nasty emissions. If able, take public transportation or carpool. Put on hold on your newspaper subscription until you return. Or donate it to a subscription-less neighbor.
