Our moral convictions (some might say religious, since we're generally Wiccan) compel us to do what we can for the environment, other people, animals, etc. We've been making subtle changes over the last few years to bring ourselves closer to where we would like to be. Eventually, we want to live in something like this: http://www.simondale.net/house/
Within reason, I take the bus, walk, etc. We plan trips to the next town over only about once every 2 weeks and hit every store we could possibly need while there. I even walk the mile to the grocery store when I can. The problem being that we're in Ohio and sometimes it really is just too cold to walk or wait for the bus. But right now it's summer and my car's been "on empty" for four days now. We've driven twice. Once to the UU Church (30 min. drive) and once to KMart (8 min. if I catch the lights red.)
I drive to the grocery store about once a week because it's more than I can carry with the stroller.
Within walking distance are:
A Walk in emer. clinic
dr.'s office
Post office
drug store
ponderosa
family video
library
rec. center
pool
3 parks
grocery store
2 pizza restaurants
hair salon
gas stations
soon to be a dunkin donuts woot!
