HERE’S MY TIP FOR GETTING AROUND!
We bought a hybrid car (used). Since then, our fuel consumption has gone from 13 to 2.8 litres per 100 km. It’s good for our planet…and for our pocketbooks!
Isabelle and André Lacolle
I got myself a bundle buggy for grocery shopping. Not only does it carry more but it's waterproof too! Now, I don’t need a car or plastic bags just to run errands.
Marie, Montréal
After much thought, we sold our second car. Much to our surprise, we realized we we manage perfectly well without it.
Étienne and Huguette
Every morning, I put my bike in my car. Once in town, I ride it the rest of the way to work. This way, I pollute less and get my daily exercise at the same time!
Guy, Saint-Hilaire
I turn my car’s ignition off at stop lights or long stops. I hear it’s when the motor idles that it pollutes the most.
