One simple resolution that will cut back on gas and money spent while possibly bringing more health and well-being? Ditching the car one day a week.
According to Car Free Days, every mile driven releases a pound of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. So by taking just one day away from the steering wheel, you can make a big difference. And, of course, the difference would be mighty if we all did this.
Plus, by using a human-powered mode of transportation if you need to get somewhere, you'll go beyond combatting climate change to investing in your own physical and financial health as well. I can attest to feeling healthier, happier and more connected to my community when I walk or bike around Silver Lake on errands and outings.
We'll also give you a little discount when you dismount from a bike or stroll, carless, into All Shades of Green.
