I think driving a utility vehicle like a Van, or camping in a Westy rather than a larger RV is "doing something" Take a gander at any interstate in the US for a look at 'Conspicuous Consumption' Or spend a week in the desert southwest in the winter and listen to the thousands of huge diesel pusher motorhomes go 'whooshing by" at 80mph and 8mpg.. If we in the US are wanting to do something green, we could dump our "Big Oil" government. Or, the most effective way of all, world-wide, would be to simply have fewer children...If you have 5 or 10 kids already, try to talk them into having one fewer, each.. Reduce your carbon footprint by a huge amount by not having that kid... Ducking, Don "the D.I.N.K." Hanson DINK= Dual Income-No Kids.(.except no income at present) |
