Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A leading driving school has offered a range of tips to motorists to help cut car pollution levels while staying behind the wheel.
Responding to the Government's attempts to persuade the public to use their cars less and public transport more, BSM published advice to motorists to do their bit for the environment.
The suggestions include keeping cars well maintained, avoiding carrying excess weight, switching off the engine in non-moving jams and avoiding excessive revving in low gears and keeping speeds consistent. Keith Cameron, the company's head of road safety policy, said: "A good driving technique can reduce fuel consumption by 25 per cent. A shift in attitude by motorists to how they drive and treat their car would not only produce greener drivers, but would also reduce accidents and help people save a lot of time and money."
