March 24 - April 5 Getting From Here to There

Transportation seems to often be one of the biggest culprits in creating global warming. We want to be able to move freely about our cities and country, automobiles are maybe the biggest symbol of that freedom. But this comes with a price. As Americans we are wasteful with the fossil fuels we use – and this translates into wasteful spending and wasting time.

There are ways to turn this around. To improve quality of life – and maybe even take time to smell the roses.

Here are things that Gershon suggests in his book.

1 – Walk or Bike to where you need to go
2 – Use Public Transit
3 – Combine your trip
4 – Carpool
5 – Negotiate alternate work schedules/telecommute
6 – develop fuel-efficient driving habits (SLOW DOWN)
7 – Find and plug oil leaks
8 – keep you car well maintained
9 – buy a fuel-efficient vehicle
10 – re-consider vacations
11 – take a hike in the woods
