For the 17 years I have worked at Allstate, for the first 15 I didn't have a car and walked/cycled/bussed all my journeys. All this time I kept saying that I would get a car someday.....which I did. This past month has made me realize that having a car is great but its not THAT important to me personally. I have parked the car in my back yard (so its not staring at me in my living room window!) and have used alternative travel modes throughout June. I have felt great about this, definitely a little healthier, but most of all proud in that feel I am doing my own little bit to improve the environment and hopefully saving a few pounds, which my kids think is great (especially as they are hoping my savings fall their way!). Not using my car has also allowed me to meet and chat with people out on the roads and streets, that I wouldn't normally get the chance to do, if driving. I plan to continue using my car less even when the ATC finishes as it has made me aware of the wins which remain out there for me.
