I don’t own a car. Most people I know are surprised that I can survive without a car. I work and go to school in a three mile radius and in my neighborhood I have everything I need. My boyfriend has a car but I really only use it to go to the vet (the only thing not in my neighborhood), I much prefer to take the bus. Not only does not owning a car save natural resources, money, and give me a great workout, but I find that most of the things I buy I get from local businesses. Although sometimes it can be more expensive to go to the local pet store instead of making the trip to Petco, I feel I save money overall and I meet many more people in my area by walking to the local store. Also by buying from my corner grocer I also get most of my food from local farmers and manufacturers and the quality of food is much better and I eat a lot less processed foods.
