An Offaly Green Party Councillor says preparation is key when taking part.
A new initiative is encouraging people to use public transport, cycle or walk when possible.
Your Journey Counts is part of the government's Climate Action Plan, which aims to reduce car journeys by 20%, and to make walking, cycling and public transport account for almost 50% of journeys.
It will also upgrade public transport for rural communities.
Green Party Councillor and Offaly's Mark Hackett says preparation is key when looking for greener travel options:
