CARazed

The greenest car is a bicycle. In fact when you consider all the energy that goes into the production of a car from the mining, to manufacture, to transportation, to marketing, to infrastructure, and of course the final energy requirements it’s kind of ironic that any car could be considered green.

But many of us need our cars for some situations. What we often forget is that we don’t need them for every little errand. Even if you don’t decide to divorce your car like my friends at RowdyKittens, you still may want to consider using your bike more and car less to save money, reduce your carbon footprint, and dependence on fossil fuels.

Here is a good article in the New York Times on what a carfree life is like.
