I am driving much less than I used to.  I now work at home and spend more time having coffee in my home and front yard than going out to restaurants and coffee shops.  I am recovering from major surgery, but I will be getting my bike out next month.

Consider them all folks.It is nice for each individual to do what he or she can to use less energy.Unfortunatly real,major changes can only come if pressure is put on the people who make the cars that burn the gas.This is unlikly to happen because the people best able to apply pressure would be the government,which,of course is bought and paid for by those very same people who produce the gas and cars!These alternatives should of been made practical,and used decades ago! Sure people are starting to squrm now that fuel costs are going up ALOT,but Haven’t you noticed mother Earth shuddering?And um hey,is it gettting warmer,or is it just me?!I’d like to blame the status quo, that everyone WANTS the huge SUVs and such,but I give the average Joe and Jane more credit than that.They buy these and more,so so much more,and why?because they are told to.By the media, Which is also owned by the same bunch who are running things!Keeping our heads just above water,and our noses to the grindstone,with no time to look around and see whats really going on!All to pay for the new flat TV or jet ski or Armani or whatever the f*ck you think you can’t live without!No,good people its not your fault your broke and/or in debt.You are being controlled very skillfully By people who are raping the planet for profit.Unsustainable riches plundered and soon to be gone like the last truffala tree.with nothing left for you or me.But they don’t care cause they are RICH you see.

I don’t know why it says I’m from Chicago,I’m not.

also, you assume i even HAVE a car to begin with.
