Ease Traffic Congestion, Ease Your Mind: Ride a Bike
I recently read an article in The Wall Street Journal titled “The Hidden Toll of Traffic Jams”, which examined the effects of prolonged exposure to vehicle emissions on the brain. While it’s too early to draw any direct connections between car exhaust neurological disorders, scientists’ findings revealed preliminary links to an array of neurological conditions, [...]

No Car Diet? Let’s Try It!
ZipCar wants it both ways. On the one hand, they’re trying to get people on board with a Low Car Diet by encouraging them to walk, bike, take public transportation, or rent a ZipCar, instead of using their personal vehicles. It’s a great idea, because it helps people realize that they don’t need to drive [...]
