Thursday, June 19th is 'Dump The Pump Day'. South Florida transit agencies want you to say no to rising gas prices, and leave your vehicle at home this Thursday. Whether you carpool, or use public transportation, the goal is to save money, conserve gasoline, and reduce harmful greenhouse gases. Oh, but if you go the transit route, you could win stuff!
Personally, I think it would be better to "Dump the Pump" on a weekend-when you don't have to be anywhere, but rather choose to patronize businesses. On a weekday, most people have to be at work, and will ultimately use their vehicle if need be. If we spent an entire weekend under house arrest - not going to restaurants, or beaches... not renting videos, or seeing movies... no grocery shopping or buying gas... the impact would be far greater... at least that's just one girl's opinion.
The Miami Herald recently printed tips on how to save fuel. You can also use our site to find the lowest gas prices in your neck of the woods. Good Luck!
