Many of us are now keen to know how to reduce our own personal carbon footprint and reducing CO2 emissions from the vehicles we drive and employing sustainable driving practices is a small step we can all take. While you may consider a hybrid or full electric vehicle as an alternative to a traditional petrol or diesel engine, if this is currently not an option for you, there are still steps you can take with your driving style to keep your CO2 emissions as low as possible.

When deciding what vehicle you’d like to choose, one of the key things to consider is whether you want it to have manual or automatic transmission.
