Thanks for setting such a great example. Don’t you find that having to walk, bike or carpool actually is a way of putting more time in your day? I’ve found that if I can allow myself to believe that I actually have the time to get somewhere other than by driving, I actually relax a bit more. We’re all so used to rushing around, when we should be slowing down (yes, even when we have to get our kids somewhere!).

my budget for gas is one tank a month – just can’t swing much more, that necessaty has had me shift many of my ways of doing things, it’s sparred more walking, making the most of trips out and actually saying no to dinner an hour away w/ friends. I’ve begun to example carpooling and best of all less driving = less pollution. I appreciate that we have choices

Rhea,
Biking is great! Yay for you!! If you’re serious about going car-less, read “Divorce Your Car” by Katie Alvord. She did – and she lives in northern Michigan (i.e., really snowy winters). She’s a real inspiration.
Keep up the great work! Diane

I have a bike and I am trying to bike more. I have also been toying with the idea of going car-less.

Norma,
The American people have opposed oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for over 20 years. The Refuge was created specifically to protect this small but pristine acreage for wildlife – not to subject it to drilling. The U.S. can easily gain the same amount of gasoline by adopting energy efficiency measures available today. We would not get oil out of the Refuge for at least ten years, and even then, the amount is so insignificant even the U.S. Energy Information Administration believes it would only lower our gas costs by pennies — and for six months at most. There are better, cheaper, more environmentally-friendly alternatives to drilling in the Arctic Wildlife Refuge, and we should take advantage of them.

I just saw you on Hannity and Combs – I become so very disgusted by comentary by people like you that say” The American people don’t want drilling in Anwar” The hell we don’t. I and most Americans say START TODAY. 2000 acres of land oh give me a break lady.
