How green are you? think before you drive! Before you use your car to drive to uni ask yourself:
less pollution and fewer parking problems.
Do I really need to drive? Could I walk, cycle or take the bus?
Gives you more transport options. Limits depreciation on your car.
Did you know? Short journeys by car (less than 2 miles) when the engine is cold pollute up to 60% more per mile than when the engine is hot.
Fewer parking problems
Have you thought about car sharing? There are plenty of car share services around, or you could just get a lift with your friends or colleagues. Why should you?
Want to know more about any of these events? Contact SUBU’s VP Lansdowne, Sophie Chaytor-Grubb on: @ suvplansdowne@ bournemouth.ac.uk http://subu.org.uk/lansdowne 01202 962375
