The cars impacts on society
As of 2002, there were 590 million passenger cars worldwide (roughly one car for every eleven people). Transportation is a major contributor to air pollution in most industrialized nations. According to the American Surface Transportation Policy Project nearly half of all Americans are breathing unhealthy air. Residents of low-density, residential-only sprawling communities are also more likely to die in car collisions, which kill 1.2 million people worldwide each year, and injure about forty times this number. Sprawl is more broadly a factor in inactivity and obesity, which in turn can lead to increased risk of a variety of diseases |

Alternatives to the automobile
Established alternatives for some aspects of automobile use include public transit (buses, trolleybuses, trains, subways, monorails, tramways), cycling, walking, rollerblading and skateboarding. Car-share arrangements are also increasingly popular – the U.S. market leader has experienced double-digit growth in revenue and membership growth between 2006 and 2007, offering a service that enables urban residents to "share" a vehicle rather than own a car in already congested neighborhoods. Bike-share systems have been tried in some European cities, including Copenhagen and Amsterdam. Similar programs have been experimented with in a number of U.S. Cities. Additional individual modes of transport, such as personal rapid transit could serve as an alternative to automobiles if they prove to be socially accepted. |

Love it! I want to find a place like this! Soon as some of the trees lose their leaves...there's an old wooden shack/cabin near my workplace that I'm dying to check out and shoot. Your fav is mine too....the growth where the engine should be..the headlight/round hole in the windshield. Great stuff!

Wonderful views of a few "old folks", retiring graciously, turning into ferrous oxide, returning to Mother Earth :)

Thanks for the great story an pictures. And we are running out of oil. When it goes, what will we do? Even the keyboard I am typing on is probably extracted from oil.

These are all the lovely antiques. Love them all. It would be very expensive if these antinques sell to Hong Kong.

Many of these old classics could be restored. Like the shots. Not sure about my transportation alternatives, but I would like everyone to ride motorcycles with me and save gas.
