Transportation

Taken into just the word – this is an easy fix – take the bus.  It’s not as easy as that and both you and I know that.  You’ve got schedules to consider, safety, family size, carrying requirements, health, weather, costs, availability, and numerous other unmentioned factors.  Maybe taking it down to the most widely used in order of sustainable benefits preference and making the appropriate choice is the solution so here it goes.

 Walking – surprise!  This is taking it back to the basics and there’s really no substitute to what we’re born with or what our natural abilities are.  It’s healthy, it’s invigorating, and you’re announcing to the world “HEY!  I’M HERE AND I’M WALKING!”  It’s also good for the community as you’re enlivening an otherwise deserted outdoors.

Bicycle – It’s mechanical but still using your body’s natural ability – what a wonderful thing it is!  Wear protective gear – we don’t want you to get hurt because now you can get some speed in here!  You can get quite creative with this one – again, show the world you can!

Light Rail / Subway / etc. – now we’re getting into the real mechanical stuff!  Electric is better as one plant is creating the “juice” so this would be good if you’ve got ‘em!  It’s public transportation so all the basics of scheduling and your lifestyle are required to make this work. We are an adaptable species so it's actually quite amazing what we are capable of.

Cars / Trucks / SUVs / personal transport etc. – If none of the choices above work for us - simply can't for some reason or another, we are forced into this category. This is not necessarily "throwing in the towel" / giving up - we've failed, we simply have a more difficult task ahead of us in making the best possible decision. We will help you in asking yourself the proper questions and give you possible solutions.
