As we heard earlier this week, there’s a new campaign underway to encourage “Gas Free Fridays”.

I would love to see this concept really take hold throughout the country.

Hopefully, the coalition of advocacy groups behind the campaign can devote some resources to making that happen (a good start would be a website, maybe a viral YouTube video, stickers, etc…).

Can you go completely gas-free today? How about the entire weekend?

Chime in below with your weekend plans and let us know if you were able to be completely fossil fuel free.

Oh, and happy Fourth of July!
