It worked well, and had the benefit of having a car at our destination.

We could try to bus to dance on the weekend.

the potential of putting in solar panels is what was suggested. Otherwise our home is as energy efficient as possible.

In our house we like to have quarterly "purges" where we tackle the often un seen areas of the house, as well as walk through and repair any items that might need it or might be due for maintenance. Example: We will completely wash our dishwasher and laundry washing machine to keep its efficiency up to use less water and power when operating. It is also at this time where we like to post our unwanted items in our Buy Nothing group for our neighborhood. Giving those items to someone who will use them rather than throwing them away.

Meat is cheap and accessible in North America; the true costs are hidden by our political and economic systems.

I currently carpool to work whenever I can. My schedule and work priorities sometimes stop me from doing this, but in general I carpool most of the days in a week. I would say that if I go places on the weekend, I rarely go alone and almost always have a car full of people.

I love to walk around the city daily. What I've noticed is the downtown (towards the water) sidewalks and walking areas are better up kept then when I travel away from downtown. Downtown is also more crowded, so some days I just want to walk and think so I go the opposite direction. I do find myself on higher alert on these walks because of the cities large homeless population and once in a while I'll have to make route changes to avoid an impaired individual.
