   st1\:*{behavior:url(#default#ieooui) }       I will make the pledge.  Since I’ve moved to Northern Liberties, I only drive 2-3 days per week.  The subway is a wonderful thing!

  Three more since last week.  That makes 25.  Half-way to the goal of 50.  You give to NPR?  This is at least as important.  There are hundreds of you out there!  Take the pledge!
     

    Judy?  Sherry?  Jerry?  Kevin?  Jaclyn?  

     

    You know, of course, the one day you leave your car sitting does not have to be the same day every week, right?  Any one in every seven.

        Hi,


       



      Those who know me will not be surprised to know I spend rather less time than many good folks here focusing on policy change and rather more on personal behavior change.


       


      I want to re-state/revive the DVS Less Driving Pledge (capitalized, sure, but having no official standing).  It is...


       


      Leave your car sitting (and do not drive any other car) one day in every seven.  Since one-seventh of all oil production in the world supports cars on American roads, we're doing a little numerological sleight of mind, and making the pledge one day out of every seven: no driving of any kind.  Couple of years ago, about 22 people here took this pledge.  Most are city dwellers and don't use a car much, but they signed on anyway.  (Several said make the pledge tougher.  I agree in principle: don't drive at all if this is possible for you.)


       


      Today, this list is MUCH bigger than when I first floated the pledge.  If you have become part of this list since 2005, take the pledge.  If you actually reduce driving by c. 1/7, you'll save a heap of CO2.  Tons.  Literally.  And combined, our number will be gigantic.  You'll save about $3 out of every $21.  That's good, too.


       


      I know, I know: the numbers are a bit slippery.  But you get the idea.  Cut back on your driving.  Take the pledge.  How?  Send a note back to the listserve saying: "I am taking the pledge.  I will not drive my car or anyone else's one day out of every seven."


       


      We're 22 pledg-ees today.  Can we be 50?
