COOL WEBSITES

Drive Smarter Challenge - This campaign aims to help consumers cut gasoline costs through efficient driving tips and practices by encouraging them to take from one to six actions that will produce measurable reductions in gas, money, and CO2 emission. A calculator on the site computes not only an individual’s savings through her or his individual actions, but also computes a running tally of savings by everyone who has taken the challenge. It demonstrates the impact of one person’s actions multiplied by similar fuel-efficiency actions of family members, friends, and colleagues of all the people who share the tips and challenge others to participate. Once taking the challenge, the site also delivers money-saving coupons for fuel-efficient products.

GREAT DEALS
