Earth Action

Replace one short car trip

A journey you were going to make anyway, on foot, by bicycle, by public transport, or by combining two errands. Accessible alternatives count too.

  • Mobility
  • Once
  • Easy
  • 20 minutes
  • Costs nothing
  • Any season
  • Outdoors

How

  1. Choose a journey short enough to replace without making it unsafe.
  2. Make it without a private car, or combine it with another errand so an extra trip does not happen.
  3. Register how you travelled, not an estimated emissions cut.
Safety

Choose a route that is safe for you. If you have no safe alternative, a planned lift share or a chained errand can be registered instead. Do not walk in the roadway.

Accessibility

Only a trip you would make anyway, and can make without help you do not have.

Expected evidence

The expected evidence is a level 1 registration. No measurement method is approved for this action.

Register that I have done it

This becomes level 1, a registered action. It does not become a verified result.
