Stopped using the car for everything within a 4km radius from home with an exception for bulk transport of heavy/large stuff.
By taking the resolute habit not to use the car for short trips, the side benefits are that my kids now bike everywhere in the city independently and instead of 700km per tank on average, we are at 1000km. We drive less and for what we drive we reduced our per km consumption. It is really a win-win habit.
- SilverRed 5y agoRecently I have moved to the city and stopped using a car all together. Ignoring the environmental impact, it has been an incredible improvement for my mental health. Life is also massively more convenient without a car. I also do not use public transport and just walk everywhere.
