I've long felt that the most important thing I do is getting around by bus or on foot, and showing others how easy that is by not being heard complaining about it.
Yes ... a great post by Pheidippides. I, too, try to positively promote car-free travel in town. I can often let friends, colleagues and business owners know that I'm reaching them by foot (or occasionally by bike) without being preachy, and that my car (yes, I still have one) is sitting in the garage six days out of seven. And, yes, that I walked to work every day of the winter, too, even when the wind made it somewhat unpleasant.
Edit: Math problems ... sigh.
