going car free!
« on: August 23, 2014, 02:49:44 PM »
I just ditched my car and am going completely car free.  I currently bike or sometimes bus to work and mostly walk to the grocery store and for other local errands in my neighborhood.  And my neighborhood is really walkable for parks, an art museum, some coffee shops.  There is even more I can get to in a short bike ride.  But I was holding on to the car for the monthly Costco run and a few other errands. 

After doing the math, I realized that either a few hours a month of zipcar or a once a month one day car rental is a lot cheaper than car maintenance, gas and insurance.  So I took the plunge.  And I hope it will push me toward even less consumption since it forces me to do a bit more thinking and planning before heading out on errands.  Let's see how this experiment goes!
