With the most recent historic hikes in the price of fuel, it seems as if everyone is staying a little closer to home these days. And who can blame them? The excess price of fuel for commutes and errands has eaten up the discretionary income of many people. As luck would have it, staying home is also a great way to decrease your personal “carbon footprint.”
It also happens to be a great way to meet the neighbors and patronize local businesses. Part of the sustainability model requires people to have the services and goods they require as close to them as possible. In many urban and suburban areas, it is now possible to take care of all your daily needs without even having to get in the car.
Some people are even choosing to take their vacation at home. Just unplug the phone, set aside your tasks an enjoy the city you’re usually too busy to take notice of.
