There's plenty of ways to get from A to B without producing lots of CO2. Choosing environmentally friendly transport options can also save you money and help you keep fit.
Camden is well served by public transport including buses and trains and we have a number of car clubs operating within the borough. But the best way to take in the character of Camden has got to be walking or cycling
Try the small steps below which will help you to get around in a greener way
Lose the car - or at least reduce the number of short trips you make in it. Walk or cycle instead. You can plan your route via walkit.com and you can take advantage of a tax free bike from the Ride to Work Scheme
Short journeys (less than two miles when the engine is cold) use more fuel and pollute up to 60% more per mile than when the engine is hot. Several short 'cold start' trips can use twice as much fuel as a single, longer trip that covers the same distance.
Go electric.
Electric cars produce no emissions so they help to improve local air quality. If you power them at a solar charging station they will produce no CO2.
As they benefit from lower taxes, fuelling costs, and charges, they are also much more cost effective to operate.
