Let’s do some math on Driving in God’s Garden.

Based on current national averages, you drive 15,000 miles a year in an 11-year-old vehicle that gets 22 mpg and buy 682 gallons of gas (2.50) per year for $1705, but your vehicle also emits 13,620 pounds of CO2 annually into God’s Garden. Driving is definitely a privilege with many benefits but also many environmental consequences.

As a Christian, you want to be a better steward of God’s garden but since your vehicle costs are the 2^nd/3^rd highest expense in your budget, right now you can’t afford to buy an electric vehicle to help the environment. You may think that you’ll just continue to negatively impact the climate and have no options…but you’d be wrong.

Learn to Drive $mart and save up to $340 per year and lower your CO2 emissions by 2,725 pounds in your current vehicle (based on 20% improvement). Join us in the March 12^th at 7pm for the webinar, “Driving $mart in God’s Garden”

“Driving $mart in God’s Garden”

As Christians and stewards of God’s Creation, we have a special obligation to use the Earth’s resources in a sustainable and responsible manner as best we can. At this time of environmental crisis, we look at various aspects of our lives and how we can adapt to be more sustainable and responsible for current and future generations.

Since transportation costs are about the 2^nd or 3^rd biggest budget item with most families, most drivers believe that they have no options to help the environment other than buying a newer more sustainable vehicle. This belief is not correct. Through learning the skills of Driving $mart in God’s Garden, a driver can save you 10-30% or more in financial savings and 10-30% in lowering green house gas emissions all while becoming a safer driver.
