I am not in any way against the invention of vehicles. In fact, I think I just can’t live without one. The thought of not riding one in a day did not really come into my mind. Just recently. Perhaps, I could still depend less on vehicles, but for what reasons? Nothing, I just grew too dependent on it that I think I need to learn living without one. Being too dependent on a vehicle is not that good too, I realized.

In connection to that, I stumbled upon ways on how to depend less on your vehicle. I found this worthy of sharing. So let’s all take a look at these.

First, use the services near your residence as much as possible. Check out grocery stores, drug stores, restaurants, clinic, and the like. If establishments like these are near enough your residence, then you could go there by walking. If you do it, you not only saved fuel but also saved money and exercised.

In case you are still about to purchase a house, make sure you consider the proximity of the house to the area where you would be going to most of the time. Take for example your work place. When you own a house near your work place, you would begin noticing that a vehicle is not that important in the first place.

Also, it does not mean that when you own a car, you need not be familiarized with the local public transportation. That’s a real problem to car owners. In times that their car is not available, they feel so crippled to the point that they can no more proceed to their destination. They (or should I say we?) should note that it is possible to go anywhere else without riding in that precious car of yours (or ours)!

If you have time, try walking to places where the distance is possible enough for you to walk. As what is said, everywhere is a walking distance if you have time. Count the days you have lived without using your vehicle. With that, you would know that you are depending lesser on its services.

I hope we can make this! Good luck!
