Making the most of my vacation with a long journaling session at one of my favorite cafes.

Transfers

Jim Gordon decided to offer his home to the students transferring from Casper High to Gotham Prep for a few months. Barbara wasn't too happy about it but Jim preferred that to having those kids end up in a dangerous place or worse, with Bruce Wayne (he meant well but frankly Jim would rather not risk another young vigilante). Besides, one of the transfers practically demanded a restraining order against the millionaires, the poor kid.

Honestly Jim didn't understand why the transfer program existed. Casper didn't know how dangerous Gotham was? Or didn't they care?, all he hoped was that he could keep them safe and that they wouldn't come back to their home too traumatized.

Of course, he had no way of knowing that the Casper's trio was more than ready for Gotham, with weapons disguised in their suitcases and a ghost hero about to enjoy an extended vacation after negotiating a deal with the ghosts.

Gotham wouldn't know who hit it.

Eco-Friendly Driving: Tips for Reducing Your Carbon Footprint on the Road | DOS Driving School

Eco-Friendly Driving: Tips for Reducing Your Carbon Footprint on the Road | DOS Driving School

In this article, we’ll explore practical tips for eco-friendly driving that will help you reduce your carbon footprint and drive more sustainably.

1. Drive Smoothly: Avoid Sudden Acceleration and Hard Braking

One of the simplest ways to drive more eco-friendly is to avoid aggressive driving. Sudden acceleration and hard braking consume more fuel and increase your carbon emissions. By driving smoothly and gradually, you can improve your fuel efficiency and reduce your environmental impact.

Eco-Friendly Driving Tip:

Try to anticipate traffic flow and adjust your speed to avoid rapid acceleration or stopping suddenly. This reduces fuel consumption and helps your car run more efficiently.

2. Maintain a Steady Speed

Maintaining a steady speed on highways or city streets helps improve fuel efficiency. Constantly speeding up and slowing down wastes gas and increases emissions. Many modern cars are equipped with cruise control, which is a great tool to maintain a constant speed on long trips and highways.

Eco-Friendly Driving Tip:

Use cruise control on highways to maintain a steady speed and avoid unnecessary acceleration or braking.

3. Reduce Your Idling Time

Idling your vehicle for extended periods of time wastes fuel and contributes to unnecessary emissions. If you’re stopped for more than 30 seconds, it’s often more efficient to turn off your engine and restart it when you’re ready to move.

Eco-Friendly Driving Tip:

Turn off your engine if you expect to be stopped for a while (such as waiting at a long red light or in a parking lot).

4. Keep Your Tires Properly Inflated

Under-inflated tires can reduce fuel efficiency and increase your carbon emissions. When your tires aren’t properly inflated, your vehicle has to work harder to move, consuming more fuel and emitting more CO2.

Eco-Friendly Driving Tip:

Check your tire pressure regularly (at least once a month) and keep them inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended levels. This can improve fuel efficiency by up to 3%.

5. Lighten the Load: Reduce Extra Weight in Your Vehicle

The heavier your car is, the harder it has to work to move, leading to increased fuel consumption. Avoid carrying unnecessary items in your car and remove roof racks when not in use to reduce wind resistance.

Eco-Friendly Driving Tip:

Clean out your car regularly to avoid carrying unnecessary weight. If you don’t need a roof rack, take it off to reduce wind drag and improve fuel efficiency.

6. Plan Your Trips Efficiently

Planning your routes ahead of time can help you avoid traffic jams, long waits at red lights, and unnecessary detours. By combining errands and driving when traffic is lighter, you can reduce the time you spend idling and improve your fuel efficiency.

Eco-Friendly Driving Tip:

Use navigation apps that help you avoid traffic and take the most direct route to your destination. This reduces the time spent on the road and helps you use less fuel.

7. Opt for an Eco-Friendly Vehicle

If you’re in the market for a new car, consider purchasing a vehicle with better fuel efficiency or one that uses alternative energy sources, such as electric or hybrid cars. These vehicles produce fewer emissions and consume less fuel, reducing your carbon footprint significantly.

Eco-Friendly Driving Tip:

Consider investing in a hybrid or electric vehicle for maximum fuel efficiency and a reduction in carbon emissions. At DOS Driving School, we also offer eco-driving tips for students learning to drive green vehicles.

8. Keep Your Car Well-Maintained

Regular vehicle maintenance ensures that your car is running efficiently, which can reduce emissions and improve fuel economy. Regular oil changes, air filter replacements, and keeping the engine in good condition can go a long way in maintaining your car’s efficiency.

Eco-Friendly Driving Tip:

Follow your car’s maintenance schedule for oil changes, air filter replacements, and general servicing to ensure your car is running at peak efficiency.

9. Drive at Moderate Speeds

Driving at high speeds leads to higher fuel consumption and more emissions. When you drive at speeds over 50 mph, fuel efficiency decreases significantly. By keeping your speed moderate and obeying speed limits, you’ll use less fuel and reduce your carbon footprint.

Eco-Friendly Driving Tip:

Stick to speed limits and avoid driving aggressively. Not only will you save fuel, but you’ll also be driving more safely.

10. Use Air Conditioning Wisely

While using air conditioning (AC) can provide comfort, it can also increase fuel consumption. If you’re driving at lower speeds, it’s more efficient to open the windows for ventilation. However, at higher speeds, using the AC may be more fuel-efficient than having the windows open due to the drag caused by open windows.

Eco-Friendly Driving Tip:

Use air conditioning wisely—use it when necessary, but try to open the windows at low speeds for ventilation. At high speeds, using the AC may be a more efficient choice than driving with the windows open.

Странное снадобье, которое кто-то из школьных хулиганов подмешал в фонтан с напитком, заставило Олив танцевать до упаду, напрочь позабыв о стеснении.

Выбившись из сил, Олив прилегла на диванчик и сразу же провалилась в глубокий сон. Признавайтесь, у кого было так же?

went to the mall to get some clothes for church/school/work. gaining weight and growing out of clothes then having to buy a whole new wardrobe is one of the biggest scams on this bitch of an earth.

i also forgot my sephora bag in a dressing room or else i’d be putting on a sheet mask rn.

anyway, you don’t need to “deserve” nice things to do them for yourself. you just need to be.
