I can easily reduce my consumption. In fact, I look forward to bringing less stuff into my home. My un-recyclable garbage is only one small bag a week. I can even improve that. What I find most challenging is transportation. For this entire week, I will have only used my car twice. Apart from a Go Green meeting and a large grocery order, nothing else was essential. But that's this week. In order for our family to make a significant change in this regard, frankly we'd have to move. Our bucolic lifestyle does not lend itself to many transportation alternatives as a larger city might. But there are still things we can do without much sacrifice. Our next car will be chosen for its fuel efficiency and low emissions first. Instead of deciding the morning of, I will decide meals at the beginning of the week and make less trips to the grocery store. I will make sure that the children are carpooled to their activities when feasible. I have always consolidated errands, particularly those that take me out of Hudson. And of course there's biking and walking - always great. To be honest there's not a lot more I think I could do but I'm open to suggestions.
