Ross Buchanan, Canberra, Australia
I am now trying to replace as many commutes by car with my pushbike - cycling to work, friends places and the like. I did not appreciate what a horribly wasteful and stupid thing is modern traffic congestion until I started regular cycling. And believe me - Canberra is a city totally built around the motor car. I have also been organic vege gardening for a while now - I'm gradually learning the hard way about gardening in a city that experiences 4 distinct and at times extreme seasons!! I've avoided large debt - not a good thing to have as the cost of everything progressively goes through the roof. I'm working towards living a predominantly localised life that is as cheap as possible and totally within my means... and talking with as many people as possible about the peak oil issue.
