Carpooling information and resources

How can we think salmon in our own personal daily migrations?

Rideshare and carpool. Join up with others and multiply the power of your salmon thinking.
Maintain your vehicle. Make sure your exhaust system is clean and clear.
Make your own energy and walk or ride your bike. It's another thing that's good for you and good for salmon.
Turn your vehicle off when parked or waiting to pick someone up. Don't stink up the joint.

Quick Facts:

A mid-sized sedan driven 20,000 kilometres a year produces about 4 tonnes of CO2, the main greenhouse gas.
Restarting the engine uses less fuel than 10 seconds of idling and produces less air pollution.
A poorly maintained vehicle uses up to 50% more fuel and produces up to 50% more green house gas emissions than a vehicle that is serviced regularly.
Check your tire pressure at least once a month. With under-inflated tires, your vehicle can use up to 3% more fuel.
