I am proud to say that over the weekend I became a Toyota Prius owner! That's right, I'm now jet setting around in a Hybrid Car instead of a gas guzzler. Yes, it's definitely not as sleek as my last car, and doesn't have all of the amenities of my last car either, but as the oil continues to spill in the Gulf, it makes me feel good that I am doing something that makes me a little less dependant on buying so much gasoline. I also have to say that with the summer here, I am taking a lot more road trips, and having a Prius now means that it is a jet set smarter way to travel by driving a hybrid car. Starting from today, I am going to keep track of how much I spend on gas from now until the summer officially ends and I will let you know how I do. I hope to encourage some of you jet setters who read this blog to at least consider going with a Hybrid for your next car!

JET SET SMART CAR

MOTHER EARTH
Happy Earth Day Jet Setters! As travelers, let's be honest, we cause a lot of harm to the environment. I'll admit, I love jet setting on a plane and taking road trips, and so I certainly know that I do my fair share of damage to Mother Earth. So, on this Earth Day, I want to focus on what I am going to do in the year ahead to help the planet.
1- I bought a Brita! That's right, no more bottled water in my house. Yes, I would much rather go for a bottle of Poland Spring, but too many of us drink out of plastic bottles daily, and did you know that one bottle will sit in a landfill for at least 100 years before it starts to disintegrate? The entire recycling process is a joke because half of what's put into recycle bins is NOT recycled, and it takes so much energy for recycling projects to work. It's better to reduce than recycle.
2- I am thinking about giving up my current car for a Toyota Prius. Yup, a hybrid folks!!! Yes, it's not as aesthetically pleasing as my current car or some other cars out there, but it's so much better for the environment. Plus, I'll save a ton of money on gas, and many celebrities have them, so how bad could they be? :-) So, on this Earth Day, think of ways you can help Mother Earth. I'm open to your suggestions...please, let me know what you think. Happy Earth Day!
