Carbon Footprint

There are now no cars on Riverbank. Yes its true. Both cars were sold ten days ago. I now use a bicycle for transport. The advantages are obvious. Improved fitness and tremendous financial saving. The disadvantages are mostly to do with the weather. Cycling in a downpour is not fun.

My goal is to make it to the one Month mark without buying a car. And in this time my reduced carbon footprint will help redress the imbalance caused by the Chinese and their dreadful disregard for the environment.

Having no car has introduced us to the joys of home delivered online supermarket goods. And what a great discovery that has been.
