Every home's garage is bound to be a little different, from the tools one deems necessary to the kind of car parked there. However there are still a few things that every eco-friendly garage should have.

For starters, a bike, or even multiple bikes - one for every family member that lives in that home. Ideally those bikes would also have been put to use at least a few times in recent months, be it for the commute to work or even to run quick errands that don't necessarily require a motorized vehicle.

Yes, the price of gas is dropping now the the cost of oil has fallen, but don't let that be your only reason for pulling out your bike. The impact on the earth isn't reduced significantly just because gas prices have!
