Use Parallel Parking

Emission Reduction: 5 pounds of CO2 every 10 minutes it takes to find another parking space. This often forgotten skill is an easy way to slash five to ten minutes off your daily city jaunts if you are lucky enough to find a space. Too often people drive around looking for the best deal on parking lot fees or an easy pull-in parking spot, when they could just pull into a convenient parallel space on the street and feed the meter.
