Green Tip #85: Base Jump

One of the topics that I feel that I've been sort of neglecting in this blog is the topic of transportation. Just think about how much time that you waste every day commuting to and from work every day. And all the gas that you waste sitting in traffic during rush hour? There's no way that can be good for the environment. And while Green Tip #85 is only a half baked idea, I can save you that annoying commute from work.

While it is mildly... let's say... illegal, base jumping may be a good way for you to avoid driving home from work. I guess this only works if you work in a skyscraper of some sort high rise building, but at the end of the day, all you need to do is climb up to the roof of your building and hop off the edge.

Oh, and make sure you have a parachute, otherwise you won't make it anywhere farther than the morgue. Maybe the hospital. Heck, if you live next to a hospital, that might be a good way to avoid paying for gas. Just have the ambulance drive you to right next door to your house.

There are a few conditions to the base jumping, though. First off, you're going to have to take public transportation (which is certainly a benefit), because if you drive your car to work every day but parachute back home, you're only going to make it about one day before you realize that you can't get to work on the second day. Secondly, you had better have comfortable clothes for work, because I can definitely tell you how uncomfortable it is to parachute wearing a suit. Oh, no, wait, I can't...

Don't forget to fill out your brackets everyone!!! May 19th is going to come sooner than you think!!
