A travel nurse can make changes to incorporate green habits and decrease her carbon footprint.
Investing in a hybrid vehicle that operates on both gas and electric engines is one mobile option to consider. It will cut down on both the cost at the pump and to the environment! Hybrids can be a little pricey. If a nurse wishes to stay inside her budget, but find a greener option, she may wish to consider a new small four-door. The 2011 Ford Focus manages 35 miles a gallon on the highway, 29 combination and 25 in the city, according to FuelEconomy.gov.
These fuel-efficient vehicle options allow a travel nurse to go green as she heads to her next assignment. Other key changes can include checking tire pressure every few months, especially before a long trip. Proper inflation can save a driver 3 percent in fuel costs and contribute to a safer drive, according to Healthcare Traveler.
These changes can assist in decreasing a travel nurse's carbon footprint and help the environment.
