[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I do plenty to limit my carbon emissions and I contribute (monetarily and time) to organizations involved in related efforts. But I feel absolutely zero guilt and will not be remotely shamed for my 8 minute drive into Bethesda rather than taking a bus that would add at least 20 minutes to my commute each way, often more if I miss the bus and have to wait for the next one. (The app is helpful, but in addition to not always being accurate, I don't always have complete control over when I am able to be at the bus stop, so it doesn't solve all the problems of only every 30 minutes.) The emissions from such a very short ride is negligible and I am sure there are many things that you do that have as much or impact on the environment.[/quote] Don't feel guilt or shame, that's fine with me. But, as the PP said, don't expect public policy to make it easy for you to get to Bethesda Metro by driving yourself and parking. In fact, public policy should make it increasingly hard. That's the stick. Public policy should also provide carrots, in the form of improving other options for you to get there. [/quote]
