THere will be millions who don't give a damn. It's the one person who makes the difference though.I support China's 'No car' day and although only minimal people took heed to this plea, I hope that one day we will all be able to proudly say:"I biked/walked to school/work today and it feels awesome!"* Just so you know, I've started a bike-a-thon thing in my class this week and we're going to do a bike-bus thing to go to school. And I live 4 miles from school so there, all you lazy bums who can't be stuffed. No wonder you're all getting obese.

Its easy! You're just so narrow-mindedly stuck in your routine that you can't imagine doing things any other way. Its about a 15 minute drive from my apartment to the office I work at and it only takes me 25 minutes by bike or bus. Plus its cheaper than paying for gas AND the bike gives me great excercise without having to buy a gym membership! Then ride a bike or take the bus! Its easy!
