Travel is sometimes a reality. Right now we are in that boat. There are a few ways we are attempting to limit some of the environmental impacts and maximize some of the human relationships that can go along with travel as we move from Halifax back to Edmonton.
1) We downsized big time to fit all our stuff in one car and have room for a passenger. All the proceeds from the sales going to a local charity.
2) We are driving the most fuel efficient car nwe could find. My wife is driving because she is better at driving slow and as such reducing fuel consumption. The car also gives instant feedback on how much fuel we're using to reinforce conservation habits. (check out the following for tips if you want some ideas on reducing the impact of driving http://www.ecodrivingusa.com/#/ecodriving-practices/)
3) we are not flying.
4) We are stopping in cities with friends and family to maximize the good times and take advantage of a rare opportunity to connect with people we really like that are strewn across the country. We are taking a little longer than needed to increase the connection opportunities.
5) We are still eating and living as consciously as possible while on the road.
unfortunately a drop in blogging goes along with this travel, stay tuned though :)
