Would I like to have another small vehicle which could handle most of the day to day stuff, sure. Can I afford another vehicle, insurance, maintenance etc. Not really, So for now the van is it. I try in other areas to help, compost food scrap, recycle paper, plastic, all kinds of metals. Bike commute when possible, plant trees, clean up the parkway behind my house, buy in bulk where possible. REpair many things instead of throwing them out, turn off lights (Kids need work here), cut my grass less often and don't fertilize or weed kill and just a list of other ways to conserve or help in my small little ways. Now if I could just quit smoking!
P.S. I wish I bought milk one gallon at a time, Darn teens eat food like it grows on farms or something!
