Stop driving to work.

I don’t have a job. So this is obsolete :)

Haven’t driven to work in three weeks. Moving to “accomplished!”

I gave up my parking pass last week. So, I won’t be able to drive to work now. I’ll have to walk, ride my bike, or catch a ride.
I’ll give this one more week and then, I’m moving this goal to “accomplished!”

I think it’s safe to say that I’ve completed this goal. There’s no way I’d ever want to drive in to work after experiencing the calm on the commuter rail. Traffic stinks, and since I can avoid it so easily now there’s no reason not to. It feels good to know I’m helping out with the smog in Boston, just by not driving my car into it…

I walked on Monday and rode my bike the rest of the week. I think I’m going to get rid of my parking pass. It’ll save me $25 a month (total bullshit to have to pay that much to park where you work!!) and it will ensure that I walk or ride my bike everyday.
I’ve actually only used my car once this week. I’ve been biking to the good foods co-op for groceries.
This is working out great. I’m getting exercise, saving money, and it’s a lot greener!

So relaxing. Not like the subway and not like driving in traffic… more like coasting along and having some good quiet time to prepare for work. It was absolutely lovely.

I haven’t yet completed this goal, but I’m well on the way. I’ve moved to a new town that is right near the commuter rail and I start commuting tomorrow. We’ll see how it goes!
