I have a 35 minute commute to work and earlier this year I did carpool with someone, but that fell though when she went on maternity leave.  I need to contact her again.  I've helped increase my apartment complex's recycling efforts by working closely with my landlord and educating my neighbors about recycling.  I have emailed different politicians including my mayor, congressmen and recently President Obama.  I have signed many petitions on the "We Can Solve It" website.  I do the best to "green" my apartment but once we find a house we want to make as many "green" improvements as we can possibly afford.
