Reducing Car Journeys – It’s a Mindset Thing
This one’s less about logistics and more about fine-tuning your thinking. Before jumping in the car, pause: Do I really need to go now? Could I bundle this with a few other errands later in the week? It’s a habit shift — and not always an easy one, especially if there’s a teenager in the house who needs chauffeuring every 20 minutes.
Start by analysing your car trips:
-
What do you actually use the car for?
-
Can you do without this journey today?
-
Could you share the trip with a friend or colleague?
-
Could you walk or cycle instead?
-
Is public transport an option?
You’ll save money, possibly boost your health, and definitely reduce your environmental impact. It’s not about never driving — just driving with more intention. Every trip counts.
