The Radical Face of the Carfree Movement
From the Carfree USA blog we find Realty Times Columnist and former New Jersey Deputy Attorney General Stuart Liberman. As Carfree notes Mr. Liberman is no "crazy hippie" or "eco-radical." So it's really cool that he writes so forcefully about using transportation options (How to Use Less Gas: Alternative Transportation, July 17, 2007; Realty Times). Some of his ideas:
- sell your car
- use carsharing
- consider biking
- take a look at carpool programs
- consider commuter vans
- find location assistance
And if you must have a car, he says, at least get rid your of your SUV if you have one.
Enjoy.
