Green Driving Test Games

Green driving is one of the heaviest of the promoted green living life changes.  This is because vehicles are some of the heaviest polluters and are absolutely everywhere.  There are some ways to cut down on the pollution that the vehicles put out without changing out the vehicle for a hybrid or other green vehicle. See how many of the green driving techniques you follow to see if you pass our green driving test games?

 

1.  Car pool- This seems like an obvious choice for cutting out the amount of energy and fuel uses by the vehicles, but this is often a choice that many people forget about.  With the rising price of gas though, this method is becoming more and more popular for the economic reasons as well as the green living reasons.

 

2.  Get frequent tune-ups- Frequent tune-ups help the vehicle to run smoother and be more efficient.  This can greatly limit the amount of energy that is required to run the vehicle and the amount of gas that the vehicle puts out.  Tune-ups also help to make the car last longer so that it does not take up more room in a landfill, but rather is able to remain on the road, running great.

 

3.  Change your air filter- If your hair filter is dirty, the vehicle has to work harder to pull air in to make the necessary spark to keep the vehicle running.  By changing the air filter frequently, one can help the vehicle use less energy while maintaining a smooth ride.  Many of the air filters are biodegradable and do not take up space in the landfills, others are recycled, and others still just need to be cleaned out, rather than replaced on a regular basis.

 

4.  Keep your car clean-  No, this does not mean driving it through the car wash every day, but rather keeping it free of clutter and extra stuff to reduce the weight of the vehicle.  This may not seem like a big deal, but when moving a ton of car plus fifty extra pounds in books and clothing, then it can become a big deal.  It can take a lot of gas to move all that extra stuff around all the time.

 

5.  Keep your tires inflated and well cared for- The ideology that the feet make the horse is true for cars as well.  Well cared for feet help the horse to run better while well cared for tires help the vehicle run better.
