Cutting emissions happens in three ways:

1. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), greenhouse gas emissions from transportation account for almost 30% of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, making it the largest single contributor to U.S. emissions. That means any change you make in your daily trips will have a positive impact!

2. Corporations produce carbon emissions because we buy their products. When people choose to cut their transportation emissions it starts a feedback loop where less demand for fuel (a product) results in less corporate emissions to produce that fuel.

3. There is a net reduction in emissions when people choose to hold onto their carbon credits as the emissions reductions are removed from circulation.
