But here is one tip you overlooked--buy a hybrid or full electric car like the Nissan Leaf. I was heavily effected as I watched the events of the Gulf oil spill develop and decided to start doing my part to bring about green change. I just bought a KIA Optima hybrid and love it!! It is a hybrid that doesnt look like a hybrid, if you get my drift. Though it took a week or so to learn how to drive it efficiently, I am able to average 50 MPG out of it. I also fly an<a href="http://electricrchelicopterreviews.com/" / rel="nofollow">electric RC helicopter--</a> as a green hobby. I charge the helicopter from solar panels I set up in my backyard. Helping the enviornment, having fun, and saving money= a win-win proposition to me. You can be sure I will be incorporating some of the tips you listed into my routine as well.

Now we all think we *have* to have our own cars (or maybe 2 or 3 per family). Craig, I hope you're right, that the focus will shift from the individual to the community.

This guy is unemployed but he makes money by collecting all the recyclables that are left after college parties and disposes of them and collects the minimal return. He doesn't make enough to own a house but enough to make rent and get some food I guess. Really making cents ;) My friend was telling me about this guy that roams a university in Ohio.
