The Car's Four Footprints
A car leaves four footprints on the environment: CO₂ and particulate emissions, noise, wear on tyres and road, and energy use. You can't erase them, but you can shrink three of them by how you drive. Idling longer than 30 seconds, hard acceleration and short trips are the biggest culprits. Every extra minute at idle is pure waste.
