CAR SHARE
If you usually travel to the game separately to the other people in your party, would car sharing be an option for you?
While it might seem obvious, having fewer vehicles on the road means fewer emissions will be emitted. This in turn leads to less fuel demand.
In the long term, less cars on the road also leads to less demand on the road system which reduces repair costs.
ON FOOT
Could you walk to the stadium? Even if you walk to the stadium and travel home by taxi, bus or get a lift you will have halved your carbon footprint for the day.
