Stuff your recyclables into a blue cart and roll it to the curb. Stuff yourself into a little blue-and-white car and roll it from the curb. Both the city of Austin's easy-breezy single-stream program for residential recycling and Car2Go's expanding fleet of rent-by-the-minute smart-for-two cars encourage the transition toward reducing our carbon footprint, not only as individuals but as a community. Efforts to live more sustainably can seem too great a responsibility for one person, and these programs offer tangible results, greater than any of us could accomplish individually, as we simultaneously shrink today's landfill and clear tomorrow's air.
