You might drive a Toyota Hybrid car to save on gas, or because you know that fuel efficient Toyota vehicles are good for the environment. But, did you know that going green can actually help to reduce your headaches? Here’s how:

• Caffeine. Did you know caffeine can cause headaches? Dropping caffeine products from your diet, like coffee, can save headaches and be good for the earth. Because coffee is often grown in places where growers use pesticides or have unfair labor practices, dropping coffee helps you go green.
• Dimming your lights. Any hardcore greenster will use minimal lighting. Minimal lighting is actually thought to reduce the amount of hardcore headaches that you’ll have to suffer through.
• Indoor air quality. Make sure that you have quality indoor air by vacuuming the floors, getting rid of furniture with particle board in it, using eco-friendly cleansers, low/no voc paints and glues, you’ll save yourself more than a few headaches.
• Eating organics. Many of the foods that cause headaches are the least green foods. Fast food, preservatives, red meats and fats all aggravate headaches. Organic foods, however, are much less likely to cause a headache.
• Driving a Toyota. When you drive a toyota, you don’t need to feel guilty about your car. That in intself should reduce your late-night headaches.

You probably know all about the various Prius owners and Toyota Hybrid owners clubs that have sprung up all around the country in the last few years. The Prius has engendered quite a bit of loyalty from its drivers, and owners seem to feel a certain kinship with one another naturally.

The friendship that comes from owning a Toyota isn’t a new thing, however. Take, for example, the Toyota Enthusiasts Club in the United Kingdom. The Club was founded in 1991. The objective of the club is to help preserve Toyotas more than 10 years old. They don’t limit membership to owners of older Toyotas, however, and welcome those that drive newer vehicles.

The club offers technical information as well as help with locating parts. They put on displays at auto shows, including a large number of Japanese-specific shows. In addition, they also put on their own national sow in the UK.

The club produces a magazine and also hosts a website. The site features forums where enthusiasts can connect with one another, trade information and get help with problems.

When you think about living the green lifestyle, you probably think a lot about driving a Toyota hybrid and using less gas. While that’s one of the best ways you can help the world around you, there are some other things you can do that may not be as obvious.

Here are some lesser-known tips for living an environmentally friendly life:

• Decrease your eating of meat. Production of meat uses more agricultural land than agricultural products.
• Don’t use a notebook. Use a binder with recycled paper. Write on both sides before you set it aside to be recycled.
• Use canvas bags at the grocery store. Keep them in your car so you don’t need to worry about not having them.
• Buy food in the bulk service bins, as they use less packaging.
• Don’t eat fish that are over-produced.
• When something breaks, fix it, even if it would cost less just to replace it.

The more you do to help your world, the healthier your world will be. In addition to doing all of these things, make sure you test drive a brand new Toyota Prius today and see the most environmentally friendly car on the market.

While driving a fuel efficient Toyota vehicle is a step in the right direction of saving our world, there are other things you can do in terms of your vehicle to get even better fuel mileage and have less of an impact on the environment.

Ecomodding is a new hobby that many environmentally-aware people are getting into. It involves making changes to a vehicle to make it more fuel efficient.

Ecomodding is all about figuring out what works. It’s about experimenting with different techniques and modifications. In some cases, it involves aerodynamic adjustments. In other cases, it may have to do with simply inflating your tires to a certain level.

While you don’t have to be an expert mechanic to get into ecomodding, it doesn’t hurt. There are some things that only a trained professional should mess with on your car. In addition, safety is an important part of ecomodding, so you should never attempt to do anything illegal, dangerous or that’s beyond your ability.

If you want a new fuel efficient Toyota vehicle today, schedule a test drive. From the Prius all the way up to the Highlander Hybrid, we’ve got a vehicle that can meet your needs, save you money at the pump and help save the planet.

Driving a Toyota hybrid is just one of the ways you show that you care about your world. You recycle, you buy eco-friendly products and you give to environmental causes. You can, and should, feel good about yourself.

You’re also in good company. There are several celebrities that are a part of the Green movement, as well. Here are just a few:

• Hayden Panettiere. Panettiere is best known for her role as Clare, the Cheerleader, on NBC’s hit program Heroes. She’s also very involved with PETA as well as being active in environmental issues.
• Brad Pitt. The sexiest man alive has done his fair share of environmental work. He even led a green building project after New Orleans was hit by Katrina.
• Sheryl Crow. Crow is known for her political and social advocacy. She even toured the United States on a bus powered by biofuel alongside Laurie David. She’s also famous for suggesting one square of toilet paper per visit to the restroom.
• Alicia Silverstone is another well-known animal rights activist and PETA supporter, and she also drives a hybrid.

If you already drive a Toyota hybrid, it’s obvious that you’re concerned about fuel economy. The fact of the matter is, however, that even just driving a hybrid won’t necessarily get you the best possible gas mileage. There are certain things you can do when you’re driving your Toyota to improve your gas mileage, above and beyond the fact that you’re driving a hybrid car.

One of the best things you can do to improve mileage on your Toyota is to drive a constant speed. The largest amount of horsepower is spent when you’re accelerating, so keeping a steady pace makes it so your engine doesn’t have to work nearly as hard.

Braking slowly is another way that you can squeeze a few more hundred feet out of every gallon of gas. On a hybrid like the Prius, the brakes are actually used to recharge the batteries that power the electric motor. By braking slowly, you help your battery to charge and give that electric motor more power than it already has.

Keeping your speed under 60 miles per hour is another way to save gas mileage. As you increase speed, your aerodynamics reduce significantly. The amount of resistance on your vehicle is nearly twice at 70 miles per hour what it is at 50.

By doing just these few little things when you’re driving, you may find you’re getting an extra mile or so per gallon when you drive your hybrid.

If you’re owner of a Toyota hybrid, you already know about the unspoken club Toyota hybrid owners. While it’s most common with the Prius, the fact is that Toyota hybrid owners tend to have a lot in common, and tend to believe some of the same things.

In addition to these unspoken kinship, however, there are real-world clubs of hybrid car owners sprouting up all over the place.

Take, for example, the Club of Prii. This is a club for Prius owners (Prii is the plural form of Prius). This club is based out of Los Angeles, and is one of the fastest growing clubs in that area.

Another hybrid car club you might be interested in is the HCCOA. This is the Hybrid Car Club of America. This club is a national club, and they’re currently working on getting clubs started in many places around the United States. Among other things, this club sponsors a Hybrid Cruise night, and also has regular club meetings.

Car meets are another great way to get together with other hybrid owners. Many car meets have a specific section just for hybrid owners, and these can be a great place to find out about a local chapter of a hybrid car club or to talk with other enthusiasts about starting one of your own.

Get A Greener Life

Today, people are more conscious than ever of the impact their lives have on the environment. Concerns about pollution, trash, and global warming create a great deal of anxiety, and rightly so. Fortunately, there are things you can do to live a more environmentally friendly life.

Get Educated

The first thing you, the owner of a Toyota car, can do to live greener is to get educated. Learn what sorts of things are harmful to the environment. Learn the impact that specific sorts of products and activities have on the environment. Learn about alternative products, or ways to do common tasks that are more friendly for the environment. While knowledge alone isn’t enough to change the world, it’s where you have to start.

Get Moving

Taking action is the first step toward change. Make the decision that you’re going to live a life that has a smaller footprint on the environment. Do the basics, such as recycling. Commit yourself to taking direct action to make the world a better place.

Get Organized

You’re not alone, and there is strength in numbers. Consider joining a community organization that works to clean up the environment and to raise community awareness of environmental issues. If there isn’t an organization like that in your area, look into what it would take to start an organization like that.

Get Equipped

Many of the products that you use on a daily basis just aren’t good for the environment at all. Switch from using some of those products to using products that are better for the environment.

Get Talking

Talk with others about environmental issues. Don’t be judgmental or angry, but instead work to be convincing. Help others to see the impact that their lives have on the environment, and the dangers that can come in the long term from neglecting the environment.

There’s something else you can do to live a greener life, as well. Come see us at your local Royersford area Toyota dealer and see what we have to offer. We have plenty of fuel-efficient vehicles that are much better for the environment than other vehicles.

As summer nears to a close, parents are at once thrilled and sad that their children will be going back to school. Before you know it, it will be time to load the kids up in your new Toyota vehicle and once again drop them off at their institutions of learning.

While kids may not always realize it, they usually are pretty ready to go back to school once the fall rolls around. Still, many children have a hard time with the transition back to school. Anxiety, organizational issues and just change itself can make it a difficult time for a child and her family.

Here are some things you can do to help make the transition back into school a smooth one:

• Bring your child with you when you do your shopping for school supplies. Give your child a budget, and let her find her own materials. This helps her in several ways, not the least of which is that you’re demonstrating trust in her judgment.

• Have your child try on his clothes from last year. Have him separate his clothes into a pile that fits and a pile that doesn’t fit.

• Make sure you’ve got medical exams and vaccination records up to date. Some sports begin immediately as school starts, and your child may need a physical prior to starting the sport. Along those lines, make sure any medical forms are filled out and, if necessary, signed by your health care provider.

• If your child is having anxiety about going back to school, try to be understanding. Focus on the positive aspects of school, and how school is important for success in life. Help them explore different careers, and to choose classes that will help them in the future as they pursue that particular career.

• Meet with your child’s teacher if possible. Talk with your child’s teacher about homework requirements, classroom policies, homework, and any concerns that you or your child may have about going back to school. If your child has several teachers, you may be able to talk to a counselor or administrator instead.

There’s one more thing you can do to make the trip back to school easier for everyone. Come see us at your local Royersford area Toyota dealer and see what we have to offer to get your family back and forth to school in comfort and style.

Well, summer is upon us again and if you are like a lot of parents, you’re probably wondering what to do with the kids. As the owner of a new Toyota hybrid, you are probably more environmentally aware than many. Why not pass that on to your children? The Pennsylvania Resource Council offers a number of week long camps that introduce children to the environment, their place in it, and what they can do to help protect it. Here are a couple of the upcoming camps in Eastern Pennsylvania.

July 14 to 18, Wildlife Detectives

Designed for children aged 7-9, this camp will teach your kids to uncover clues and discover the wildlife in the Ridley Creek State Park. They will learn to identify the various animals, amphibians, and birds while at the same time understanding what each of them needs for survival.

August 4 to 8, Earth Action Squad

For ages 10 to 12, your kids will become environmental scientists for the week, learning how to protect our planet and taking part in various activities. Some of these activities include organic gardening, water testing to determine the health of an ecosystem, and how to use alternative energy sources. On the last day of camp parents are invited to the Earth Action Squad’s Environmental Fair.

Spots will fill up quickly, so if you think your children are interested make sure to contact the PRC early. If your kids aren’t interested in summer camp, why not gas up your Toyota Hybrid and head out to the state parks to look at the wildlife? After all, it won’t cost much and your children are sure to learn a thing or two. Just remember to bring the binoculars and camera!
