Keeping your tires inflated to the proper pressure can improve your gas mileage by up to 3.3 percent. It's also safer, and will make your tires last longer (which ultimately results in less waste).

Try using your eco-friendly dishwashing soap to wash your car since the runoff goes right into the ground. I tried it the other day to wash off all the sand and salt from winter, and it worked great.

Don't warm up your car in the winter. It's a fallacy that cars need to be warmed up in cold weather. As long as they don't stall when put into gear, they are warm enough. Warming up your car is for your own sake, not the engine's, and it just burns gas unnecessarily. Wear a heavier coat and gloves, instead.
