This is what I%26#039;ve done...I am in NO way bragging or saying there is anything wrong with your life choices.
First, I did a survey of our driving, I found that 82% of all our driving was trips within a 3 mile radius, grocery, pharmacy, kids school, my office etc.
So I bought 2 electric golf-carts...I also bought a solar charging system...it%26#039;s a 12x12 solar panel attached to a charging wire...so I drive for free 95% of the time. I checked with local police and they don%26#039;t care if I drive it on our 25 mph streets. Got full coverage insurance........easy pezzzy!
Of course we have our other car for longer trips etc., bad weather that type of thing.
We just completed our 4th month and estimated saving is $2240 on gas....and ZERO enviromental impact. By March 2009 it will more than pay for the cart investment.
what are your ideas...................if you have any question..just ask %26amp; I%26#039;ll answer!
have a great DAY! WTF why would you chose that moronic answer? Report Abuse

I car pool when I can, recycle every thing, do my best to shop with the enviroment in mind. All small things but I feel the biggest impact I have is getting people into the conversation and getting them to think for them selves about what they are doing to our world as individuals. (Suprisingly people in general dont know how much of an impact they have)
