Lose Weight, Save Fuel May 12th, 2008

 I just wanted to quickly highlight an article I recently read. 

Ecogeek had a great post on 6 simple things to do to save billions of gallons of gas. Among the great tips included advice for Americans to lose weight. According to the site, if Americans lost about 24 pounds each, we could save approximately one billion gallons of gas! Think about that for a second. One billion gallons. And all you have to do is get healthier. This is the number one tip on the site. More importantly, it’s one fo the fewthat we can personally control. We have no personal control on lowering the national speed limit to save gas, nor can we increase our MPG to 35. But we can control what we eat and how often we exercise. It’s not much, but it’s a start to help solve a national dilemma, but to help get us on track to a healthier life.

I’m not going to be naive about it; many people see personal trainers as an unnecessary expense. That’s so far from the truth, it’s not even funny!
