I've stopped taking the car completely due to environmental concerns. I see no justification unless you absolutely have to.

  >I see no justification unless you absolutely have to. That's an extremely broad qualifier for a pretty particular topic. I think that the vast majority of people either absolutely have to use a car, or can pretty easily not (or in fact would be inconvenienced by using a car). I think it is a very small percentage of people who are somewhere in between those two cases, for whom there is a realistic choice to be made one way or the other.

      There are millions of people who absolutely have to have a car. There are lots of us living in rural - and even suburban - areas where public transportation is virtually nonexistent.

    Absolutely needing a car sounds like a very US centric problem where public transport seems to be very underdeveloped. I know very few car owners who is in that situation but then again, in my country the public transportation network is amazing.

  Hey, you ever do anything just for the fun of it? For some of us, driving is that thing.

    The environment trumps fun for me personally. There are a lot of fun things I can do without a car.

      And that's your choice. As long as you don't force it to be mine, we'll get along swimmingly.
