Alan Durning of the Sightline Institute and his family have recently decided to live at least one year without a car after the untimely passing of their Volvo. Alan has been blogging about his new experiment on The Daily Score, the Sightline Institute’s blog. (Incidentally, The Daily Score is the best Pacific Northwest environmental blog out there.)
It’s no secret that I would one day like to follow in Alan’s footsteps and Andrea and I are slowing shifting our behavior to allow it. I think following and learning from Alan’s successes and mistakes will be invaluable. It’s too bad there aren’t any more resources available.
Visit The Daily Score to walk in the footsteps of a carless family of five.

Hopefully there will be soon…
That’d never fly in Southern California, but it is a noble idea, and actually, with gasoline prices where they are, it’s a sensible idea too.
I think this is a wonderful idea. I have contemplated the pros and cons of living without a for some time. i haven’t had one for a while, but, then again, i don’t have three kids. good job, guys!
