don’t own a car

Action

If you have a car, sell it.

If you don’t have a car, continue not having a car.

Discussion

Car ownership is expensive (fuel, maintenance, depreciation, repairs, negative health impacts from inactivity, exposure to toxic materials, and elevated risk of injury/death) . And car ownership is assumed to be a given in many cultures and locations (particularly North American). Very few people consider not owning a car.

Building a lifestyle that doesn’t involve car ownership makes a big difference in terms of cultivating a low cost of living and designing a movement-rich environment.
