Do you at least carpool? Four to six people in the car would help a lot, that's four to five less times the pollution, and four to five less times the cost to everyone's pocket. There are some situations that people *have* to drive, I'm not saying there isn't. I grew up in the bayou in LA, I understand that in some situations there are absolutely NO mass transit/public transportation systems period, and biking/walking isn't viable. But now days there is simply no reason to at LEAST carpool. It's for the benefit of everyone, the planet included.
