> It's instinctive, but usually not top-of-mind as we coffee-up and free-wheel into the dawn or chariot into the sunset.
However, in these caffeine-aided, agonizing stop-n-go-go, cell phone spell commutes - the CARma Green Driving Techiques are our first key(solution and benefit) to protecting our loved ones, reducing toxic emissions and unlocking gridlock.
Please note that the majority our toxic-gridlock is caused by unnecessary, minor wrecks that are triggered by illegal, aggressive driving behaviors and speeding is the #1 catalyst (NHTSA). To better protect our families and friends, here are the top-five unsafe driving behaviors we all should agree on curbing:
excessive speed reduces your reaction time and leads to over-braking distractions (food, phones, stereos, road-rage) cause delayed reactions tailgating severely reduces reaction time and triggers stop-n-go waves discourteous merge zone blocking causes ripple-effect wave accidents racing into gridlock ahead causes emergency stop-n-go braking
Health: If you could do something right now to help ensure your child doesn’t contract ASTHMA – would you? Good. Then here is the second key to protecting our loved ones and their children to come.
Practice CARma Green Driving Techniques everytime you fire-up your oil refinery to reduce gridlock's deadly, toxic auto emissions (Carbon Monoxide [C0] & Nitrous Oxide [N0x]). Unsafe, reckless driving triggers traffic gridlock then blind acceleration into gridlock turns our highways into toxic parking lots - poisoning our families and environment.
At work, in the community, in our churches-synagogues-shrines-temples, and most importantly, at home - we must share with our loved ones that when we curb aggressive driving behaviors we will immediately reduce: > Carbon Monoxide poisoning: rapid acceleration + speeding increases C0 > Nitrous Oxide contamination:idling and stop-n-go shuffling increases N0x > Micro-particulate carcinogens:racing to gridlock, then basting in toxic fumes > Stress & Anxiety:gridlock's constant stress weakens your immune system
Now, that we've cleared the air on how 'CARma Green Driving' reduces pollution we would like to share the positive economic effects of the CARma campaign.
