If you noticed in my last blog I was complaining that my gas bill was terribly high. Well, I decided to conduct an experiment to see if we really could make a lifestyle change here. I talked with several of my neighbors and we agreed to call each other if we either had appointments in town or if we needed something from town. For instance when I have a appointment, I call my neighbors to see if they need anything or need a ride to town. I also call them if I just need one item to see if anyone is going into town. Today, I will shop for my neighbor. She only needs two items and I have to go to town for an appointment. I'll keep you posted about how this all goes. I also saw on the news that a van service (Coordinated byCommute Info) was getting some real use by commuters from the burbs. Seems like the van is comfortable and a good alternative to driving and parking. It picks people up in a central location (like the bus does). Some enterprising person could start this in a community and do rather well I think. There is also a ride share board for Pittsburgh, this is a great idea for all our areas I think.
