Fossil Fuels
When I was growing up, I always thought that the use of fossil fuels was no big deal. I never understood why everyone always complained about how much gas the public uses, but when I started driving, and had to pay for gas, I realized just how much it cost to get to school and back (my school was 25 miles away). I still haven't exactly grasped how much gas is being used in the world, but I do know that it is making a dent in my wallet, and if it is at all proportional to the gas the world is using, it is a VERY large amount. I now spend less time driving... I haven't exactly started doing anything like riding a bike, but I just don't take joy rides anymore.

An interesting point, one important thing to realize is that if your not "joy riding" what is occupying your time instead? If your just sitting around being anti-social, maybe the jy rides are worth it, and if you've picked up on other habits, maybe joy riding isn't as expensive as them. Even with ridiculous gas prices, joy riding is still a rather affordable hobby, especially for the benefits reaped. Unless you're trying to singlehandedly save teh world, then joy ride away. Go pick up your best friend or significant other and go for a ride into the country. Find something crazy to say you did. It's worth it.
