I am going to sell my car, ride my bicycle, and walk to the supermarket. Though it won't be easy to give up some of the luxuries I was raised with, I am fortunate to have these choices here in urban USA. For the sake of the world, it is my imperative to decrease my carbon footprint and explore what it feels like to live responsibly for the survival of humanity, as well as the other beings that inhabit this earth. Wish me luck, and please join me on this journey.
