I don’t have a car for ten days. Repair shop. Recycle the old car or buy a new one? Stay without a car? And working at night, in a community that is not very safe? Isn’t it the moment to get rid of it? It’s something to think about.

I’m aware that a car, with 1.0 motor, like mine, that consumes fossil fuel, throws CO² to the Environment. And, in order to neutralize such emissions, I have two options: to plant a new tree to compensate the carbon dioxide or to walk and not throw it. There’s also the issue, very important, by the way, that the gasoline that you save when you leave your car at home, stops you from emitting 0,8 Kg of CO² per kilometre.

These days, carless, I’ve been walking on foot, by bus, by van, by ride.
It’s an experience that has done real good for me. I even thought about taking up walking again. I had forgotten how healthy, relaxing and stimulating it is, at the same time. Walking through the neighborhood I live and living up to the available services near home and not having to go so far to go shopping? It’s something to think about.
