Despite living all in the same planet, when it comes to making it a better place people still point fingers and assign blame instead of taking action. Being green is so simple that even the smallest act can help it on the long term. As a matter of fact, changing very small actions can be the best way.



Sharing a car with coworkers that live nearby, for instance, is a simple action that can improve traffic by reducing the number of cars on the street, consequently cutting down the time each car stays on the road and therefore lowering CO2 emissions, not only because of the smaller number of cars on the street each day, but also because of the shorter time each one takes to reach their destinations.
