What is this about?

It's just an idea.

Fridays: Give your car the day off.

Going to work? Headed to the store? Have errands to run? Try it without the car. Instead, carpool, take the bus, walk, or ride a bike. You probably have even more options where you live.

Every little bit makes a difference! Just imagine if you turned those 1- or 2-mile drives to the grocery store into a walk or a short bike ride. That would change everything!

Maybe you're already doing this? Let us know about it.

Or let us hear about it in the comments.

It's just an idea ...

"It's not hard, people ... take the bus. Those of you afraid of driving a small car for safety reasons ... nothing on the Interstate is going to mess with a bus. I have a 45 mile round trip commute and it costs me $11.50 a week (about a fourth of what it costs to fill up my Civic, a pretty fuel efficient car, for the same week of driving)."
