I could lie and said it's a hybrid Highlander, but I can't afford a new car. It's a 2003 and gets about 21 mpg.
There is no such a thing as a hybrid vehicle -- within our budget -- that could carry camping supplies, do light off roading, transport our bikes and tow a small trailer. We actually need 4 wheel drive, and cargo and towing capacity, unlike whole cities of people who never intend to tote anything more than their friends, or a couple of kids and groceries in their 11 MPG H3s, Cadillac Escalades and Chevy Explorers.
We replaced our furnace this year, which may have cut our oil consumption by nearly 50%. We keep the thermostat at 60, practice water conservation and recycle anything we can and have done so since long before the community picked it up.
Our relationship with Gaia is copacetic.
