  • Alternative-fuel vehicles: Vehicles that use regenerative braking or run on partial or full electric power can help greatly reduce your carbon footprint. Many automakers as well as drivers are making the switch to hybrid and electric vehicles. 
  • Fuel-efficient models. Not only can you choose an alternative fuel vehicle, but you can get a hybrid or partial hybrid with the best fuel economy possible.
