In a story too convoluted to post - I have spent the past month going involuntarily green. I got reacquainted with public transportation and learned surprisingly - it isn't that bad. Once you get the schedule down and accept that any destination will add an extra 1/2 hour to hour of commute time, it's pretty easy to get to and fro and the amount of "undesireables is pretty low. I quite enjoyed having a latte, reading a book and arriving at work stress less from not having to deal with road rage.
Unsurprisingly, some of my destinations where a pain in the caboose to get to, but hearken my trusty bike and I was quickly able to get where I needed to go in a jiff!
Having already chosen a geographic location to live that has MOST of my needs in close vicinity, I was able to reduce my carbon foot print and lose 10 lbs in a month!
Will I completely give up my right to drive? NO, but what I have learned in the past month WILL continue to be a part of my new routine - Hail to my new trusty stead!
