text: Giving up driving is like giving up a bad habit, you always have the urge to do it again. But is it all worth it. Think about it, you get up for wor, or school and you walk outside where the sun is shining and the birds are chirping and you think "Wow it is beautiful out here". And what do you do... you insert your self into a small metal barrier stoping you from being one with nature. so where am I going with this you might ask. "When I had a car I was always tense. Im much happier this way." says Heidrun Walter, a mother of two who gave up her car and decided to walk. When you are driving you can not say hello to your friends, or nighbors. In fact you cant have any social contact which is not healthy.
