Blount Countians Unite! Let's start a campaign to do one little thing to save the planet. When you go to fast food restaurants, banks, whatever, park your car and go inside. Do you realize how much gas you use? Do you realize how much money you waste? Do you realize how much pollution is released in the air when you spend the 5-10 minutes at the drive-thru?
Now, obviously there are times when it is not practical. For me that might be when it is hot outside and the pupster is in the car. Maybe, at those times I could just forgo the stop all together.
What do you say? Can you do it for a week? A month? Forever?
Think about it. Try it. Save the planet one step at a time.
