“Vegan” vs. “Vegetarian” — Housing Edition

A “car light” is popularly known as a headlight (or perhaps headlamp).

So, what’s “car-light?”

bike to workA lifestyle many young, urban-types are embracing, that involves getting by with one — or zero(!) — cars per household.

That’s possible by using car-sharing services like ZipCar (just bought by Avis) and/or living close to public transportation, bike trails (like the Midtown Greenway in Minneapolis) or . . . walking distance to work, groceries, etc. (imagine!).

Of course, the ultimate form of “car-light” would be . . . “car-less” (think of it as “vegan” vs. “vegetarian”).

P.S.:  I suppose “bike-light” would be renting a bike (vs. owning one).  That’s now possible to do in Minneapolis — at least from April to October — thanks to the city’s “Nice Ride” program.
