- he is not asking you to sell your truck and move to an apartment, (I believe). There are simple things us
- Suburban folk can do to help out though. For instance, Price Club is an excellent idea, bulk shopping reduces
- your _car_ trips to the store.
- Car trips are _not_ necessary for everything either. Take the bus or ride your bike on occasions thhat
- you can. If you are disabled then encourage others to do so.
- The next time you move, consider moving close by the place of work. I live too far from work to ride my
- bike all the time, but since I car pool with my father to work in a pickup truck, I throw the bike in the back
- and ride it to lunch and to school at midday. All these seemingly futile things can add up if everyone takes on
- this way of living.
-
- The best thing to do is to encourage others to contribute.
