Choose a less polluting car: Read the Federal Government Fuel Consumption Guide before buying a new or second hand car. It is available from motoring organisations, Energy Information Centres, car dealers.
Switch to unleaded petrol or alternative fuels: If you have a pre 1986 car you might be able to use unleaded petrol. Alternative fuels such as LPG and CNG are generally cheaper, as well as being better for the environment. Seek advice from your motor mechanic, vehicle manufacturer or distributor.
Use alternatives to cars: Walk, ride a bike, or catch public transport instead of driving. Think about whether you can use the telephone instead of going out in the car or organise to car pool with neighbours or friends.
Create an alternative transport friendly workplace: Set up a car pool register and ask management to install facilities for cyclists.
Leave your car at home: Leave the car at home one day every week-if everyone did this it could make a huge difference.
Rethink your work travel choices: Consider alternatives such as video and telephone conferencing, use of email/internet, facsimile and telephone to cut your organisation's travel bill and make huge greenhouse gas savings.
