Letter writer: Thank the Earth by striving not to drive

It would be a miracle if everybody for one week didn’t drive.

There are so many more options like walking, biking, public transportation or carpooling. Strive not to drive!

I believe that everybody should find the urge to walk and not drive. I find damaging the Earth is careless, and we can help it by not using cars. Not using cars means we’re improving our environment. When you’re not using your car, you’re not spending money on gas.

It’s win for you and the Earth. Win-win! The Earth takes care of us, and all we do is pollute it, so thank the Earth by Striving Not to Drive the week of May 15.

Thanks for reading through to the end…

We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we’ve never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.

We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.

  1. And watch the movie on netflex called PUMP.
    We have the Rockefellers to blame for paying bribes to congress to pass prohibition which made it illegal for even ethanol fuel to be made. Now we kiss the robes of Sawdee Arabz dudes to get cheap oil that we buy with American Soldier lives. BOYCOTT EXXON!!!
