Default Re: NE 1 Reducing their gas consumption??? share your tips??

Governments need to start planning for people to walk and ride - I'm with you, I would walk and ride to the shops but there aren't any footpaths and busy roads. Suburbia means that we are so reliant on cars, as we're all so far away from facilities. Instead of looking at cheaper fuels (hybrid cars etc) they should be looking at providing more health and environmentally friendly modes of transport (walking and riding) and redesigning cities. Obviously not easy but we should be planning now. We wouldn't need gym memberships if we were all walking everywhere!

A little off-topic sorry!

I also combine trips
