Busy thinking about sustainability

Sustainability principle states that our actions today should not adversely impact the ability of future generations and other living beings to sustain themselves. Sustainability is a path that each of us needs to own to successfully tackle the climate crisis together. Everybody has a role. The time to act is NOW. This blog chronicles my learning and adventure. I hope that readers will find inspiration through these journals to adopt a few more sustainability practices into their own lives.

Comparison hybrid mileage

I recently went to a green car show as part of Earth Day and saw that the Camry Hybrid gets 34mpg. My gasoline Honda Civic gets 29mpg... which led me to think, would I incur the cost of switching just for 5mpg extra? Definitely not especially since my gasoline car is only 2 years old. So it was with great delight when someone mentioned this site, which provides a hybrid mileage database. Click here for a comparison chart. Smaller sedans get higher mileage than larger ones (due to weight).
