    this should be easy for a lot of us. You can ride a bike, walk or take public transportation. There are prizes.

    Here's my PITA. I can't cross the bridge that I need to cross (the next closest bridge is 20 plus miles away) on my bike to go to work. The bridge is old an narrow and has no room for bicycles and peds. It's rediculous. I live in one of the most eco conscious areas of the US and I can't ride my bike to work. OK, rant over.

    We do hoever have locally grown markets and food co-ops that I take advantage of.

    What a great idea--I signed up, too. It's not possible for me to bike to work, but I do work at home a couple of days a week, and I do shop at the local farmers' market.
