Find out more about Shawna: Shawna Bohan, president of Redmann Mahoney, LLC, was into ‘green’ before it was the new black and established a thriving PR and Marketing consultant firm because of it. Now she and her fellow telecommuting consultants work for environmentally friendly businesses across the United States and in Europe and wish there was more of them to go around. There are great ‘green’ products out there that challenge the status quo. They’re just waiting for their 15 seconds…and she’s going to give it to them. |
Indeed! It's been awhile since we last visited but here's why...
My family of five (three kids under six) embarked on a GREEN experiment and loaded our 2007 Toyota Prius up for non-stop fun from Denver, Colorado to Chicago, Illinois. Nearly 1,000 miles folks, three car seats in the back, and never a complaint from the adults or kids about "elbow room".
We've been planning on taking this trip for 2 years. Back then we figured that the trip would cost us $60 each way - and it would have. But with current gas prices we still managed to go round trip for less than $180. in gas. I imagine our carbon footprint was far less than had we flown, although I don't claim to have done the math.
So if you've balked at the approximate end price for the Prius at around $30K, maybe I've just put that car back in the running. According to several websites, this is the 2010 Toyota Prius pictured here. Roomier than it looks. Go drive one.
By the way, the folks in Iowa have got it good. They're paying an average of $3.00 per gallon! How sad is that statement?
