    I’VE BEEN RIDING MY BIKE FOR 3 YEARS. I SAVE MONEY PLUS IT’S VERY HEALTHY.

    I challenged my self to ride my bicycle to and from work every day. The only time I will drive my car is when I find it necessary to go out of town.

    Since moving to Australia, I’ve learned how earth friendly most people are and have learned a lot of great stuff:
    Instead of driving, I walk everywhere! It’s helped me to loose so much weight as well…
    Instead of using the plastic bags at the local market, I use cloth bags or buy a couple at the store for an extra 50 cents… I even leave them in my sons stroller and the car as well.
    I use Eco friendly cleaners and when I am done with the laundry or dishes I recycle the water to feed my plants.

    Not sure if this counts but I don’t use hairspray and I’m switching to more eco friendly cleaners =)

    I walk to keep healthy and to also conserve on gasoline.

    i try to take the bus whenever possible but it isn’t always practical with my schedule. however we recently found farmers markets in the area for every day of the week. we try to car pool whenever possible and always try to conserve electricity because most of it comes from fossil fuels. it’s really simple to unplug your cell phone charger when your not using it and if everyone did it could really add up!

    we buy as much local produce as we can, plus i even have some young produce of my own growing as we speak.
    i take the bus instead of driving to school, because it will come even if i’m not there, so why not?
