yet another sustainable tool

New job is fantastic. My first three assignments are a senior care facility, rebuilding dilapidated affordable housing and tax-credit housing project, and it's only the second day.

New job means new ways to get around. I take public transportation to work now.

Today, had to go to a community meeting (I am helping Skyline College raise money. How to get there when there is no public transit close to the campus?

Car share program. I had signed up during their free annual-fee promotion, so I only pay as I use the cars.

I was able to sign up for a car last night. Today, I drove take a car from a public parking lot that is a 5-minute walk from the office, attended my meeting and got back to work without worrying about parking or traffic to and from work. The process costs less and was faster than driving my own car.

It's fun to be green.
