World Wisdom: Running Errands

Here are two tips to help make your short-trip errands a little more eco-friendly. Drive to the farthest away place first. Your car will run better when it's warm, and then you aren't doing the stop-and-start when it's cold. Even better, try to go in a clockwise direction. A minute of idling uses the same gas as driving a mile, so if you can avoid waiting at lights to make those left turns, you'll save gas and money.
