DRIVE LESS LIVE MORE
The growing cost of oil presents a different kind of 'golden' opportunity. Now, we must develop better habits in our daily travel routine...and that's a good thing!
Drive Less Live More is a national initative and our connection to healthier, cleaner, more affordable transportation choices. As Americans we love our cars. We think nothing of driving less than a mile to the bank, the store or even from one parking lot to another at a shopping center.
As our waistlines – and our dependence on foreign oil – increase, the quality of our life and air decrease. But it’s not as if we are trying to pollute our environment or be less active, it’s just become second nature to grab the keys and go.
But there’s a better way. Residents have a variety of alternative travel options – walking, biking on paved recreation trails, riding regional transit, or carpooling.
