I sold my two cars, a 1948 Dodge sedan and a 1975 Mercedes diesel, two years ago. I live in Eureka, Ca. and take public transportation and/or walk everywhere I go. As I am "retired" (whatever that means), I don't have a daily commute and the cars were just a luxury that the planet can no longer afford to keep me in.
I use energy saving everything, recycle, live a minimalist lifestyle, don't consume what I don't need and shop at thrift stores whenever possible. This computer is a used Radio Shack point of sale terminal that I picked up for $50 about four years ago, as a matter of fact. I look for ways to trim my already low impact on Our Mother that I haven't heard of yet on a regular basis.
While I realize that this kind of lifestyle isn't for everyone, a good auditing of "what you are using and don't need" couldn't hurt. You'd be amazed how well you can enjoy life by trimming off some of your more wasteful habits. It'll clear your conscience a bit too, I might add.
