The challenge on Traveling
A
Register all your journeys in “Commute Greener” during one week
In order to be aware of your current traveling pattern and to learn how much CO2 it
creates we ask you to register all your journeys during at least one week (Monday-
Sunday). Please use the online tool from Volvo “Commute Greener” where you can
register your own profile and fill in your destinations and type of transport.
Register here: www.commutegreener.com
You can watch a video on how to use it here:

B
Try the checklist for long-distance traveling

Do you have any long-distance trip planned in the near future? Use the provided checklist which helps you reflect and make your long-distance traveling more climate-smart in the future.

C
EcoDriving - decrease your use of fuel with at least 13%
In January you will be taught EcoDriving. EcoDriving provides easy tips for getting
the most mileage out of your vehicle. And because burning gasoline produces
carbon dioxide, saving fuel helps reduce carbon dioxide emissions - which helps
address climate change.
Before receiving your course on EcoDriving, we ask you to fill up the tank of your car
and measure how far you get with one full tank of fuel. After you have received the
course on EcoDriving in January you will be asked to make a new measurement in
order to compare how much further you can go after having learnt EcoDriving.
