Leave Your Car At Home Tomorrow ( Earth Day )

If you can, why not leave your car at home tomorrow?  Wouldn't that be a great way to support Earth Day?

The realities of life won't let everyone do this, but if you can ... give it a try ... for just one day.

Maybe you could arrange to get a ride with someone.  Maybe you could ride your bike.  Maybe you could take a train or bus to work.  Maybe you could work from home.

The advantages of not driving go beyond the emissions from your car.  Traffic congestion ruins everyone's gas mileage.  The more cars on the road, the worse everyone's mileage gets.  ( And of course, more emissions per car per trip is bad. )  Even if you have a super clean burning engine or a hybrid, you still add to the congestion if you're on the road.
