Challenges for change
Choose sustainable transport
By ditching your car and using a car-sharing service (like Zipcar) when you need one, you can reduce your carbon footprint by up to 1,600 lbs per year.1 That’s the equivalent of saving nearly 32 trash bags from the landfill.2
Use the cold wash cycle
If you wash 4 out of 5 loads of your laundry in cold water, you could cut out 864 lbs. of carbon emissions per year. That's equivalent to planting .37 acres of U.S. forest.3
Nix plastic straws
Americans use 500 million drinking straws daily, which can fill over 125 school buses with straws every day. That’s over 46,000 school buses a year!4
Don’t let the faucet run
By just turning off the water while you brush your teeth twice a day, you can save up to 8 gallons of water. That’s more than 200 gallons a month, which is enough to fill a fish tank for 6 small sharks.3
Turn off your tech
If all U.S. homes power managed computers and monitors, we would prevent more than 13 billion pounds of greenhouse gas emissions.5
Adjust your thermostat
If you turn your heat down or AC up one degree, you can reduce your carbon footprint on average by 142 lbs, which is equivalent to recycling about 3 bags of trash.6
Creating more space for people, not cars
After all, taking cars off the road and creating a more sustainable future is what Zipcar is all about. And the numbers don't lie.
Choose sustainable transportation
By becoming part of our car-sharing community, you’re helping take up to 13 personally-owned vehicles off the road, reducing CO2 emissions by millions of pounds. Easy, peasy.
