[show more] Although, there are still plenty of people who don't utilize the green way of life or are still communiting to work in the gas guzzling vehicle without carpooling, there are plenty of people who are. Scooters, Motorcycles, Bikes, the Bus, Walking, etc. are definitely being cashed in and utilized more frequently and consistantly. Sad part is that it's taking a gas price increase to realize the benefits of sustainable transportation and "doing their part" to help out their surroundings. It's amazing what you observe around you when you commute outside the 4 door vehicle. [show less] Add a comment	Vote! 3 votes 55 pts
