[dvs] I'm counting

[Robin Hoy]

I didn't sign the pledge because it feels silly to me as I already don't
drive a couple days a week and combine all errands and have implemented
everything I can think of to save energy and resources. This may very well
be true for others on our list. But you are welcome to count me in for the
pledge.  How about a challenge to source all our food locally for a period
of time and use no bottled water?!  It'll be good practice for us.
