Yesterday was a big day for my SO and I. We sold my car on craigslist! We're now down to 2 bikes and 1 car as our main source of transportation. This is something we've wanted to do for about 6 months now and finally the time was right to take this huge step forward toward our dream lifestyle. In a way, we're already living our dream lifestyle. We may not be 100% there, but we've done a lot over the last year to change our habits in order to live in a way that's -
- good for the planet,
- cheaper, and
- better for our mental, physical, and spiritual health.
Selling my car yesterday was one more step in the right direction and a really important one, given the amount of CO2 emissions we will reduce as a result of it; the money we'll save not having to pay for car maintenance, gasoline, and future health care costs related to sitting on our butts for long periods of time confined to a small space, surrounded by metal, smog and unpleasant noises coming from other similar machines; and finally, the extent to which we'll enjoy our daily life that will be slower-paced, mindful, and more connected to the life around us as a result of this sale.
happy biking!
