Does anyone else climb into their car or truck and think- Damn I am ing up the environment!?
I was without a car for a few years between 2009 and 2014 because of ruined credit because of my ex.
This was an emotional toddler with no business with a debit card.
I would tell him to his face to not use the ATM for a cash withdrawal because we were pinching it to meet the outstanding bills.
Effer would take out $200 and everything would bounce. And you know the banks run the biggest check through so they get that $15 fee on everything. It would be, I'm not kidding $800 in overdraft fees...a month sometimes.
And, after the divorce and I was scratching for my life back I hated asking anyone for a ride, so it was only the things I couldn't possibly do...like a trip to the vet or something. .
I had a pull behind cart for groceries.
There are some places I see a bike useful for recreation for some reasons now, but not many.
No, not at all....We all have to hop in the vehicle and drive anyway. Perhaps a batter question is, am I doing everything possible to make it more efficient? Regular tune-up, keep the vehicle in good shape, good driving habits to reduce emissions and gas consumption, drive only when necessary.....
Used to get into guilt-tripping. But, I rely on my personal transportation to earn a living. Now I do what I can for the environment and look forward to the day of autonomous vehicles (they will do some positive for the environment and a LOT for safety).
