Reconsider your transportation needs
Thursday, July 30th, 2009
We have all heard at least once during the times of Global Warming and going green that taking public transportation, walking or even bicycling is the best way to help the environment overall. Thinking about alternative transportation needs is something that should become a regular thought in anyone’s head.
How much do you end up spending on transportation cost, be it your own car or someone else’s such as carpooling? The main focus on anyone’s mind is about cost. The cost to travel is more than just about money, it’s about the environmental impact it tends to have on the earth, our future and then it comes down to financial headache it brings.
Transportation is about getting where we need to go, bottom line. Whether it’s to a job, grocery store or even to a friend’s house it to get us to point B when taking off from point A. The best way to cut down on these costs is to live closer to where we need to be or get to.
Your thinking should shift from getting to the local park to how am I going to get to the local park? If you live less than a mile from the local park, walk or take your bike. If this isn’t an option, use local transportation.
Not depending on our own cars is a great way to start the change to a better environment and to save you money over all. Learn more at OEC online.
