Springboard to Motion: Eco-Commuting
Another way to add a spring in your step is to leave your car at home. Walk! Bike somewhere! Take the bus! Or join CarShareHFX and enjoy a community-based car sharing cooperative.
Everybody seems to want a part of the “green wave”, without actually having to earn their spot. As Carston Knox, editor of Green Halifax guide, alluded to in the spring-issued 2nd edition (www.thecoast.ca/halifax/green-halifax/), it’s not enough to turn the lights off at your business to be able to say you’re eco-friendly. And it’s not good enough to always say: “I HAD to drive because….”
It’s time to start walking the talk! Do something that hurts, just a little bit, by giving up your wheels, at least some of the time. You’ll feel better, look better and do something good for the environment in the process. Who knows, you might even get to know “Who are the people in your neighbourhood? In your neighbourhood? In your nei-bour-hood? Oh, who are the people in….” You know the rest of the song.
So springboard to motion… green motion! Eco-commute with some of the transportation options listed below:
