One Step At a Time
Aroon Shenoy, Arlington, VA I have been without a car for a number of years now. I have used either the Metrobus or Metrorail for all my transportation needs. I share rides with my colleague to work whenever that is available. To all distances that are walkable, I simply walk such as to the post office, the grocery store, and the bank. Walking is built into my routine and I find that in this manner I get my daily bit of exercise without having to allocate a special time for it. Keeps me going through life one step at a time.
That's honestly really awesome to hear, not only reducing your impact on our Earth, but staying in great shape while you are doing it! Keep up the good work!

Me too!! I haven't driven a car for over ten years. My husband has to drive for work, and I'm fortunate to have him for those times when you really need a car, but for the most part I walk everywhere (with my kids, too - they're 5 and 7). We're much healthier because of it :)
