text: In Germany there is a suburban city that has given up their use of vehicles. One of the local residents stated "When I had a car I was always tense, I'm much happier this way." You may not notice it but the hustle and bustle of everyday life and commuting may just be putting more stress on you. Cutting out personal commute will not only be making your life less stressful it will also help clear the air in some cities as well. Passenger cars are responsible for nearly 50 percent of greenhouse gasses in car intensive areas in the United States. Something as simple as not driving as often or cutting back totaly can help you and others.
