Lifestyle Choices

Beyond the workplace, there are many other lifestyle choices that shape your participation in the global economy. For starters, the choice of where you live has countless ripple effects: urban dwellers who rely on public transit have among the lowest carbon and other resource footprints, while living and working (including telecommuting) in a rural town offers substantial benefits in both connection with nature and opportunities to participate directly in local governance. Orienting your home and work life to accommodate bikeability turns transportation from a large financial and environmental cost to a significant personal health benefit.
