17、1步行。25%以上的行车路程不到两英里这么短的路程步行或骑自行车都很容易到。步行可以省钱，使你保持健康，又有助于长寿。而且定期运动可以使患心脏病的几率降低 50%!2用公共交通工具。平均而言，大约 40 人乘坐一辆公共汽车，而同样数量的人要占据 33 辆小轿车。有时乘公共交通工具可能会多花一点时间，但这又有什么关系呢？你可以在公共汽车或火车上休息、读书、和人聊天，遇到你生命中的挚爱谁知道会发生什么事呢？3出发前想一下。你真的需要到城镇另一边的购物中心去吗？到拐角处的那家商店购物如何？上车前，考虑一下你是否真的需要走那一趟。4共用汽车。如果你真的需要开车，和别人开一辆车去。这样更便宜，更有益于环
