There is no doubt a move afoot to try and change, but in all reality, how many people do you know who have started carpooling since the price of oil went above $100? I don't many people that have. Sad but true. I think hybrid cars, from what I've read, are not the answer either. I have read some articles that actually say the overall impact of making the hybrid has more environmental impact then what is saved from the lifelong operation of the hybrid itself. They are moving in the right direction but not fast enough.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03013424718480052803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6347146078336911240.post-57042473681712742672008-06-14T11:26:00.000-02:302008-06-14T11:26:00.000-02:30Gosh Doreen!Where do you live it sounds like a str...Gosh Doreen!<BR/>Where do you live it sounds like a strong collective and quite remarkable. I always think of our imprint and agree that the cost of our consumption is good in terms of making us all think. Often it incites people as it hits the pocketbook but ultimately I think it may promote alternatives that are so much kinder to all that is vulnerable. Now to live it in our personal life.....<BR/>KarlaKarlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07132898874038733439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6347146078336911240.post-14951631453499494792008-06-13T21:39:00.000-02:302008-06-13T21:39:00.000-02:30Here we are only allowed one bag of garbage per ho...Here we are only allowed one bag of garbage per household per week, regardless of how many people live there. We do a lot of recycling and composting. It amazes me how much recycling we have that we used to through in the garbage. We easily have 4 large bags of recycling every 2 weeks. There is a pilot program here as well where they are taking food waste for composting. This includes meat products and things that we can't normally compost ourselves. I am looking forward to this being more widely available since this would reduce our garbage to almost nothing.Doreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11176349537090700094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6347146078336911240.post-64938208565896578572008-06-13T11:47:00.000-02:302008-06-13T11:47:00.000-02:30I can tell you that with 4 kids, we produce a lot ...I can tell you that with 4 kids, we produce a lot of trash.

These are all single family houses with double car garages but I am not sure if any of them have room to park a vehicle in their garage for all the stuff they have. Gotta tell ya something about how most people live.Doreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11176349537090700094noreply@blogger.com
