One of the major contributors to greenhouse gases isn’t your vehicle…it’s the way you drive it. Poor driving habits can create more emissions and they can even cost your money in gasoline. But one Denver-based program wants to change that.
Supported by Mayor John W. Hickenlooper and other Denver city officials, the new initiative gives citizens the ability to measure their vehicle’s greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, drivers also see how their driving habits contribute to greenhouse emissions while being able to improve their behaviors behind the wheel. They monitor their own emissions through accelerometers attached to the internal systems of vehicles so drivers can see exactly what they’re doing and how they can cause a lower amount of emissions.
Driving Change is the first initiative of its kind in the entire world. You might not think that it’s going to make much of a difference if it’s just happening in Denver. But if the idea spreads to other parts of the country, it can have a major impact on the emissions we’re putting into the air.
