Of course,this won't address traffic congestion in big cities, but if traffic jams don't contaminate the air I breath, and don't eat up all our natural resources, I wouldn't have much of a problem with them. I mean, if people decide to waste their lives stuck in traffic, that's their choice--as long as they are not blocking public transit/ bike routes. </p> http://ecomobility.tv/forums/topic/share-dont-buy#post-52 Tue, 11 May 2010 18:10:41 +0000 Futuredreams 52@http://ecomobility.tv/forums/ <p>I decided to give up my car and start using the communauto service we have here in Montreal. They're everywhere and they seem to be growing in popularity. I figure I'll be saving a lot of money and I will at least be doing my part to help reduce greenhouse gases. Here is the address in case anyone living in the area is interested.</p> <p><a href="http://www.communauto.com/comment_ENG.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.communauto.com/comment_ENG.html</a> </p> <p>Here is what their website says: </p> <p>Communauto provides its members with exclusive access to its vehicles. By becoming a Communauto subscriber, you gain access to a fleet of cars that you can reserve at low cost for a half-hour, an hour, a day or longer, according to your needs. Located in the heart of your neighbourhood, the cars are available without delay, 24/7. </p> http://ecomobility.tv/forums/topic/share-dont-buy#post-50 Mon, 10 May 2010 18:13:23 +0000 Treehuggeer112 50@http://ecomobility.tv/forums/ <p>This is a serious problem that has to be addressed sooner rather than later. I was just in India, this past October, and I can clearly see that there is just not enough room for more cars. We were often stuck in traffic for 2 or three hours everyday. I really don't think Bombay can accommodate more drivers on the road. Maybe trams, bicycle rentals, a subway system, or carpooling services. I live in Manhattan and use the subway everyday. There is no need to own a car in Manhattan. Parking is extremely expensive, and traffic jams, like in Bombay, are hell. </p> http://ecomobility.tv/forums/topic/share-dont-buy#post-41 Wed, 21 Apr 2010 22:44:21 +0000 admin 41@http://ecomobility.tv/forums/ <p>We definitely can’t continue to exploit the earth’s resources as if they were endless. The planet just can’t sustain our desires for ‘ the good things in life’. Imagine what would happen if all the people living in China and India bought a car. We would need seven planets to sustain us all! So, I believe the solution lies in sharing. But the question is, are you willing to give up the luxury of owning your own vehicle to save the planet? </p>
