Drive responsibly and help save the environment, the president of the Canadian Automobile Association said on Monday as the club unveiled its plan to address climate change and improve air quality.

The club, which has a membership of 4.9 million members, partnered with the environmental group Pollution Probe to produce a report titled Driving Towards a Cleaner Environment to be released later this year. The report calls on the federal government to encourage Canadians to change their habits through incentives and education initiatives.

“We’re … seeing a shift in attitude on the part of Canadians and we want to help them in terms of ‘How do I do something that’s environmentally responsible?”‘ CAA president David Flewelling told Reuters.

The report encouraged consumers to use public transportation, car sharing, and car pooling as a means to help the environment.
