If everyone in the UK reduced their car mileage by just five miles a week it would collectively save around £1.1 billion and 3 million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year.*
Look at how you travel for short trips - for example, walking to the paper shop or cycling to the post office. You'll get fitter and benefit from some fresh air. You're more likely to get chatting to yoru neighbours on your journeys.
Walking or cycling your children a mile to and from school each day would save around £120 and 250kg of carbon dioxide each year compared to doing these journeys in the average car.*
