How about fundamental awareness of how many millions of engines are
running every second on the planet and the destruction and pollution
thereof ?

Evidence that people really do not give a twig about how much fuel they
burn -
A guy is delivering a vanagon to my shop for his brother.
I hear an engine running out there ....I go to investigate.
He's sitting there smoking a cigarette, waterboxer engine idling away.
I ask him 'why is the engine running ?"

his answer - " I'm listening to the radio . "   ( ! )

People don't know that the radio will work without burning fuel ???
They must.      'People' just to not think very much it appears.
Lacking fundamental awareness often, it would appear to me.

We're real lucky we can get the stuff, and the price has gone way down
recently ..
a huge fast drop.  That's nice. Still, don't waste.
And even if gasoline and diesel fuels were free, they are not free at
all. They come with a huge cost.
