I used to think my small town couldn't do much about climate change
My friend from college visited last month and called me out. She said, 'Mia, you keep saying it's a big city problem, but you drive 15 minutes each way to the grocery store when you could bike.' She was right. I live in Springfield and everything is spread out, so I just got used to driving. I changed my whole weekly shop. Now I plan one big trip a month for heavy stuff and bike for fresh things. It cut my car use by half. It's not perfect, but it's something. How do other people in small towns cut down on driving?

My town's library started a tool lending shed last year.

Tool sheds are cool but how often do people actually need a specialized tool? Seems like a novelty that gets used twice a year. Probably just ends up storing a bunch of old lawnmowers and a single post hole digger. Not exactly a game changer.
