About a month ago, my Mom read a great article about driving less and simple ways that we could take steps to help save our Planet. One of the items that she liked best was avoiding driving your car or cars for one day a week, and how much just one day without driving would greatly cut down on pollution. With $4.00+ gas it would also save a little in the gas tank too.

She commutes and I stay home, but we both decided to take the driving one day less challenge. I’ve also decided to keep track of my no driving days for the month of July. I’m using gold stars on the calendar, and so far I’m up to 4 days without driving or riding in a car. I hope to add many more stars to the calendar, and lighten my carbon footprint a little along the way.
