As it relates to the environment automobiles account for 20% of all greenhouse gases emitted into the air. How ecological friendly you handle your car is one of the best ways to reduce your carbon footprint. Still the only way to offset your carbon footprint is to plant trees. Listed below are the Top 10 things you can do to make your car more "Green."

1. Buy a Hybrid Car or Green Car

Yes, it doesn't take rocket science to understand that if you buy a more environment friendly car you have reduced your carbon footprint. Hybrids now come in sedans, SUV, and luxury vehicles. If buying a hybrid right now isn't in your budget choosing a car with excellent gas mileage is going to make a big difference.

2. How You Drive

You drastically increase the fuel you consume and the emissions your car gives off when you accelerate quickly and stop quickly. Driving the speed limit and more smooth as it relates to aggressive driving through the city will save on your gas bill. Also, the more you can take care of all your errands in one trip is better than many short trips to the store.

3. Keep Your Car in Shape

Regular tune ups of your car will keep your car producing less greenhouse gases, using less gas, and prevents future trouble. It is estimated that if every American's tires were properly inflated to the right level we would save 3 billion gallons of gas every year.

4. Offset Carbon Footprint

You can plant trees to offset the greenhouse gases you are emitting each year. Planting trees is the only way to offset your carbon footprint.

5. Carpool

If you have been on the freeway during rush hour you see all the commuters driving by themselves. Not only will you drastically lower your impact on the environment by carpooling you get to go in the carpool lane, as well.

6. You Don't Need a Car for Everything

For short trips you can take your bike or walk. With cars we don't even think about the other ways we can travel; we just hop in our cars and off we go. Many store items can easily be carried on a bike with a backpack. Also, you can get an electric scooter to get places faster.

7. Drive Half Way

For some trips walking or your bike isn't the complete answer. Driving your car and then getting on mass transit or driving your car and then parking to then go on your bike both work. Many times if you are going during rush hour, driving until the traffic gets thick and then going on your bike will get you there faster than sitting in the bumper to bumper traffic.

8. Use Less AC

Using a windshield protector can reduce how hot your car gets allowing you to use less air conditioner in the car. Turn your AC on low instead of high uses less gas. Don't forget to park in the shade to also keep your car cooler.

9. Use the Web

With the easy access to the web these days you can have video conferences, send email, and buy your products online. A video chat can be just as good as a face to face meeting without using gas and your car.

10. Go without a Car

For those that are willing to take it on it can be done. You would be surprised with a change in thinking how it is possible for some to go without a car. Using physical transportation like a bike and mass transit can get you around. Also, for those that want to it may be important to live closer to work or the stores you need or making your work day virtual so your home is your office.

HOW DOES HYPERDRIVE 3.0+ WORK?

* Thermogenesis/Energy:

Hyperdrive 3.0 facilitates fat loss by increasing calorie expenditure through thermogenesis and by providing energy for improved performance. Hyperdrive 3.0 also helps the body tap into deep fat stores to utilize stored fat first for energy.

-Ingredients responsible for thermogenesis/energy:

* ALRCocoamine 3.0+ is a unique matrix standardized to yield nearly 98% active ingredients, which impact the body’s metabolism and energy system. Isolate the euphoric and energy components of chocolate, strip away the fat and calories and you will have a natural extract that acts like a thermogenic sledgehammer. ALRCocoamine 3.0 acts like a metabolic turbo-charger ramping up fat utilization and calorie expenditure.

-ALRCocoamine 3.0 contains:

o PEA – Phenylethylamine – A naturally occurring substance that increases attention and improves mood. PEA is a powerful natural stimulant that boosts energy and mental focus and it also helps control hunger.

o Methylxanthines: (theobromine, caffeine, theophylline) - Group of powerful substances that supercharge the metabolism, stimulate thermogenesis and provide increased energy and alertness.

o Tyramine, octopamine and methyl and other synephrines –Beta agonistic agents, which support fatty acid release and its utilization for energy, positively impact mood and help control hunger. These substances provide much of the same beneficial effects as ephedrine.

Thyroid Support:

Rev up the metabolism; increase the burning of calories 24-hours per day by escalating the metabolic rate through natural thyroid support.

-Ingredients responsible for thyroid support:

* Tyrosine Ethyl Ester – This amino acid functions as a substrate in the production of thyroid hormone. Hyperdrive 3.0+ contains esterified tyrosine to maximize oral bioavailability.

* Guggulsterones – Provide direct and indirect thyroid stimulation; rev up the metabolism and provide an increased thermogenic effect.

* Fat Mobilization:

Pull fat from the fat cells to allow the body to use fatty acids for energy (use stored fat as the preferred energy source):

-Ingredients responsible for fat mobilization:

* Propionyl-L-Carnitine Ethyl Ester – This amino acid positively affects the mitochondria or the cellular “power plants” of the cells of the body. L-carnitine also acts as a “fat mobilizer”, thereby supporting fat oxidation and metabolism. L-carnitine ensures that the body uses fat first for energy.

o Appetite Control:

-Ingredients responsible for appetite control:

* Hoodia Gordonii Concentrate- Research has demonstrated that Hoodia can suppress hunger, control appetite and increase satiety.

* R-ALA - Studies have shown that R-alpha lipoic acid (R-ALA) is a powerful anti-oxidant that ramps up mitochondrial function, increases metabolic rate and detoxifies cellular oxidative damage.

* Rhodiola Rosea Concentrate – Known as an adaptogen, rhodiola supports serotonin optimization and increases ATP production (cellular energy).

How does fitness really help weight loss

We want you to think the next time you're tempted to diet your way out of so that unwanted weight gain, to stop and consider your fitness-based alternatives. One thing to always keep in mind as it relates to fitness and weight loss is that if you are unable to do it for life than it probably won't work. Here are the biggest reasons a comprehensive fitness approach is a more effective and sustainable weight-loss solution:

Fitness revs your cellular engines. Your cells' mitochondria are the calorie burning powerhouses in your body. Mitochondria need oxygen, so the more oxygen you consume per minute (VO2 max), the more efficient your cells become, and the more calories you burn.

Fitness balances your hormones. Over time, fit people experience positive hormonal changes that help keep them fit. Lower stress hormone (reduces inflammation), higher growth hormone (builds muscle) and lower insulin (controls cravings) are just a few of the hormonal benefits fitness brings.

Fitness grows on you. Unlike dieting, which few people can tolerate for long, fitness quickly becomes a way of life. The more fit you become, the more you're inclined to move. So for most fit people, seeking daily activity becomes an almost instinctive habit.

Fitness gives you a metabolic advantage. Fit people have more lean muscle mass and a higher metabolism, which helps them weather setbacks such as holiday binges that can pack on excess pounds.

Fitness is fun. People often overlook the emotional and spiritual benefits of exercise. A fitness lifestyle involves regularly participating in activities for the sheer enjoyment of them. It's more fun, it relieves stress, and it's easier to sustain.

One aspect of fitness that is often overlooked is that when you are working out you are not indulging in an activity that adds to you gaining weight. As you look at your day, there are countless activities that are not supporting your weight loss goals. Every time you workout even for 15 minutes it is 15 minutes that you are building a habit that promotes the results your want and takes you away from activities like eating while watching television that does noting to promote healthy living.

It is this last point that we strive day in and day out to pound home, that it is getting to the point that fitness for its own enjoyment is what we are after. One a person likes to work out because they like it, they will exercise forever.
