My good buddy is a super environmentalist (other than that, he’s really cool Here is the conflict:

He’s leaving his job. Has to clear out all his stuff.  To transport his stuff he’s going to use a …. CAR!!! Oh my God! This is the guy who walks to work in the spring. He feels bad when he takes the BUS. “But at least it’s mass-transit” he rationalizes.

The guy recycles EVERYTHING. I’m pretty sure he hand-washes his used toilet paper and recycles that with the newspapers.

So this is a BIG deal.

And for me, it’s a great chance to tease him.

I was like, “Dude, I can’t believe you will use a Ve-hell-icle (environmental-speak for car) to move your belongings! You can load everything into the basket on the front of your
bicycle! Just make 1,487 trips!”

That would be awesome… to see him biking down the street in the Seattle rain, trying to look over a stack of binders and framed pictures loaded into his white basket, while he furiously rings the bell on his handle-bar.
