Lose your Rack
Save 640 lbs of carbon
Remove the roof rack from your car, when not in use, for a savings of 640 lbs. of carbon.
Excess weight on a car plus added wind resistance decreases gas mileage. Shedding your rack can improve fuel efficiency up to 5%.
Tip: For added carbon savings, de-clutter your car of unnecessary items—from golf clubs to tool sets. For every extra 100 pounds you lose, you’ll save 220 lbs in carbon.
