I officially have no car. Yeah I finally did it, got rid of my car, now let’s just see how long I can last with out a vehicular automobile driving machine.
It all happened last week, and I’ve been getting around just fine with my bike and good ol’ public transportation.
My goal is to last all the way through next winter, so we’ll see what happens. So why no car?
Here are just a few reasons:
- Great way to be green
- Save money (gas, insurance, maintenance)
- Don’t have to worry about parking
- Challenge myself
By the way the picture up there is supposed to represent one less car. Hence the empty space in between the two cars.
Check out Toyota’s new super automobile. Easy on the gas, cash, and environment.
What more could you ask for? Link
Wow, I just got my energy bill statement and was pleasantly surprised by my total.
One of my goals was to gradually lower my bill to under $20, and it looks like I am almost there.
Also, just a friendly reminder to change all of you bills to e-statements, so you can save some paper and stamps.
It is now estimated that some Americans spend about 20% of their salary on gas.
Well just think, what if you didn’t drive for one or even two days out of the work week?
You could take public transportation (which most jobs will happily pay for), carpool, bike, or even telecommute.
Just doing that for two days out of the week would bring that percentage down to 12%. You would be doing your part by being green, and spending less of your hard earned green on gasoline. I know this is an extreme case, but think about your situation. I’m sure you’re spending way more on gas than you would like. Those living in the San Francisco Bay Area can use 511.org, which is a great resource for driving alternatives.
