Environmentally Friendly & Green Driving – Save Money & Car Fuel Part 2
The latest economic rescue package is not helping much for the general public, at least for a good half a year before we see effects of an slight economic turnaround. Fuel prices are still escalating, food prices has not fallen, you still need to travel to work, to school and earn a living. This is part 2 of that endless car fuel saving tips which I have started to help us tie over the money crunch.
Below is an added list of ways on achieving fuel efficiency, conserving gasoline and attaining cost savings the easy way:
Set Cruise Control at a Fixed Level of Consistent Fuel Usage when driving a stretch of long freeway (or highway). This helps to reduce the intermittent and inconsistent fuel injection by human manual driving which could cause greater wear and tear to your car.
Combine Several Short Trips Helps Save Fuel And Save Money. Once your engine is warmed up they generate less air pollution, so keep it running over a few so combining several short trips into one can make a big difference.
Park it in your Covered garage.Yes, you can save fuel and energy simply by parking your car in a covered garage whenever possible, especially in winter and summer. You would then avoid exposing your car to harsh winter snow and ice as well as the torturing summer sun. This helps you warm up the car faster in winter and cool it better in summer.
Remove Excess Baggage. Get rid of items not required on a daily basis. The most common are golf sets, snow chains, fishing gear etc. Reload on a need to use basis.
Catch that Greyhound Bus. I am not selling for The Greyhound here, but if you have to travel across states or provinces, consider taking the coach. The scenery could do you some good, not to mention the stress of driving across unfamiliar towns and provinces.
Avoid Keeping Your Engine in Idle Mode for long periods. If you are stuck in traffic and you don’t think you are going to go anywhere in the next five minutes, you may want to turn your car off.
New cars do not need to be warmed up for long period of time. So as much as your pocket can help it, change to a new car. And a New Hybrid Car at that too.
Keep good car habits. Before you switch off your car ignition, remember to switch off all electrical units like the car hifi sound system, air conditioning, heating gadgets, compartment lights as well as head lights. This avoids drain on your car battery, reduces maintenance costs.
Communal car pooling is definitely a viable solution to if you could find like minded colleagues who are neighbors living within your vicinity willing to pool resources.
Avoid Rush Hour. And yes, that is the very famous but always ignored suggestion. As much as procrastination gets you, try harder. In countries where they install electronic road pricing measurement ERP gadgets, you could find yourself doubling your fuel consumption, doubling your fuel costs and your travel time. Worst of all, the electronic road pricing slaps an additional toll charge whenever you pass a particular gantry at rush hour!
There are more tips to come at the next episode of Endless Money & Fuel Saving Car Tips. So stay tuned. And also visit my site for more information on car tips and hybrid cars.

Renewable Energy & Why We Should Seriously Consider It!
In this article, we are going to discuss renewable energy and talk about why we need to use it. Many people around the world are starting to become more aware of renewable energy and how we harness it. However, the large energy companies that we pay our hard earned money for to provide us with energy are still using non renewable energy sources to provide us with energy for our homes.
Such non renewable energy resources include the likes of coal and oil. These are resources that are found from the earth, but once consumed, can never be used again!
Renewable energy on the other hand comes from sources that can be used again and again indefinitely! Renewable energy such as the sun and wind are sources we can use to create endless amounts of energy. So as long as the earth stays intact, we will always have endless amounts of access to the energy produced by the natural elements from the sun and the wind.
However, it is important to remember that fossil fuels and other resources that are currently being used by the large energy companies are also destroying the planet. Unfortunately in this case, there are many beautiful things that are under critical danger such as plants and animals. Even our water is becoming polluted and the air that we breath is contaminated from burning coal and other substances that are used to provide us with energy for our homes.
The good news is that we all can help protect nature while saving on our own energy bills by simply generating our own energy from the sun and wind.
I suggest that you take a look at this site which will help educate you on all the matters concerned and show you what you can do to help contribute to a cleaner energy saving environment.

Green Energy UK
The latest reports regarding the use of “green” eco-friendly power have given some surprising, but pleasant, information on the subject of the United Kingdoms fuel habits since last year.
Money put into green power this year has hit £75 Billion, which is an increase of a massive 60% from the previous years UN Environment Programme (UNEP) report. The statement goes on to say that a continuing increase of oil prices, concerns over climate change and energy supplies and better promotion from the government are behind the rise of usage.
The methods most favoured by the public are wind power and solar power, with more people than ever are setting up personal wind generators and solar panels on their homes.
The UNEP has forecasted that by 2012 around £280 Billion will be spent each year on projects improving and developing already existing green energy ventures, and even expect it to double by 2020.
Most of the current investments have been supplied to Europe and the United States. However there are more projects being targeting to China, India and Brazil being progressed.
Unfortunately the wind power developers have suffered during the first few months of this year, as due to the credit markets becoming coming tighter, they were unable to finance themselves. However the rest of the green energy spectrum had continued to grow and become stronger.
There is much in the pipeline for this area of business too, with a lot of governments within the EU and America confident that many businesses will take advantage of the growing awareness of fossil fuels rapidly running out, and seizing the businesses opportunities while the media and general public are concentrating on it. This in turn will of course help the planet as a whole as green energy will become not only more popular but more accessible too.
This past month, the United Kingdoms energy minister, Malcolm Wicks has stated that the whole of Britain would undergo a “Green revolution” and that the government plans to fit a quarter of new homes with solar panels and erect “thousands” of new wind turbines.
With gas and electricity prices continuing to rise, it is good news that the government plan to ensure the UK has renewable sources of electricity and utilities.

Recycle
This is yet another College project. This time I had to create an ad for TV or cinema that would promote recycling. Considering that the only video to ever make me want to recycle was Type2error’s ‘Recycle’ I decided that comedy was the best approach.
