Thanks for opening this topic! The global warming affects almost everyone in all walks of life. Aside from global warming and climate changes, adding to it is the present economic meltdown and energy crisis. As we can see nowadays the new trend is going green that is, making alternative ways to save money and energy at the same. Affected by these crises is the daily transportation. Since majority of people in any industrialized country are no longer employed in home agriculture, daily transportation to our chosen vocation is necessary. Anyhow, there are ways to reduce the costs associated with it so you don't need payday loans just commuting to work. (We are in a recession, but that shouldn't be your only motive to saving money.) Using public transport is a great start. It's cheaper, and since it's publicly funded, it's already paid for. Also, don't drive aggressively. Aggressive driving leads to more wear on brakes, more fuel consumption and wear on the motor and traffic tickets – a cost of daily transportation that is one you really want to avoid.
