I travel a lot, I try to be responsible/sustainable/green/eco-friendly, these two are tough to reconcile...
Top Three Environmentally Friendly ways to travel
3. Public Transportation--This actually includes bus, light rail, train, etc. Increasingly we are seeing these move to CNG and even electric (the buses in downtown Chattanooga are electric!) While Buses obviously use more fuel than a car, they use far less on a PER passenger basis.
2. Walking--Yep, the good ole left right left is pretty tough to beat for earth friendliness, not to mention that it's much better for YOU.\
1. Bicycle-- Why is it better than walking? Because you can travel at least four times as far in the same amount of time and still produce no emissions.
Honorable Mention--Ok, so what about those longer trips and business meetings far far away (like downtown), for those I'd recommend train, WEBEX, or the revolutionary new invention...CARPOOL
Thoughts--Is that client, congregation, conference attendee, etc, really going to be that much better off for you being there face to face? Sometimes the answer is absolutely YES, but more often than we currently admit, they could get just as much from our virtual presence and follow up as from our in the flesh presence.
