Saving Some Green
Greenopolis Thought Leader

Two Girls ...

Hooray! I have finally moved closer to work!

I now live in the way-hip city of Royal Oak and have therefore increased my awesomeness factor by about a bazillion. True that.

Here's the deal:

In one fell swoop, I managed to cut my drive from from 17 miles (each way) to 6. That, by the way, means I now get to sleep in until the time I used to leave for work.

Uber cool.

After doing some quick calculations, I should save roughly two tanks per month in gas - that's about $100 dollars and 26 gallons of crude.

Sometimes it's the small changes, and sometimes it's the big - but if we all make sure that being "green" is our focus, it'll make an enormous difference.

(For kicks and giggles, try to find out how much money and gas you could save if you lived closer to work... it may surprise you.)

Cheerio!
