Good old fashioned thrift will get you to the most 'green' solution most of the time. <BR/><BR/>A lot can be accomplished by having the smallest car possible and driving it as little as possible -- probably rather more than putting fancy stuff under the hood.Darwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08572976822786862149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-48956188499884763092007-11-03T20:13:00.000-04:002007-11-03T20:13:00.000-04:00I have a Toyota Corolla which is pretty fuel effic...I have a Toyota Corolla which is pretty fuel efficient in any case. But I find 'green' is foisted upon me lately anyhow, partly because of the fuel cost, and partly as full-time work ends just before Christmas, so I am budgeting. I am lucky in that I am single so I can cycle to work, and the weather has improved to make that more possible lately. (She says as she glares at the heavy Sunday afternoon rain outside!) But the petrol cost being what it is, even without budget constraints, I think I would be thinking more about walking places, and finding what I need/want closer to home.Kiwi Nomadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13351034705766073667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-91361561353720259542007-11-02T20:27:00.000-04:002007-11-02T20:27:00.000-04:00"What exactly is the point, other than having 'Hyb..."What exactly is the point, other than having 'Hybrid' emblazoned on your rear end?"<BR/><BR/>Um, because a hybrid gets to drive in the car pool lane even if there's only one person in the car?Catholic Bibliophagisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10697706672495544901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-89411993100485095062007-11-02T16:44:00.000-04:002007-11-02T16:44:00.000-04:00I live a mile from work, we only have one car beca...I live a mile from work, we only have one car because we only need one car, it's a minivan.<BR/><BR/>When we started to tell people we had dropped to one car the most common reaction was pity, <I>"oh sorry, if there's anything I can do to help please let me know..."</I> So I started to tell people that our decision to drop to one car wasn't that several thousand we gained by getting rid of it, but rather we were doing our part for the environment. <BR/><BR/>It was an amazing difference, people were proud of us, almost envious that we were willing to make that sacrifice for the "greater good".PBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10996471383721043231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-81116368936584518372007-11-02T16:16:00.000-04:002007-11-02T16:16:00.000-04:00Answer:vide South Park "Smug" episode for details....Answer:<BR/><BR/>vide South Park "Smug" episode for details.Antonio449https://www.blogger.com/profile/01917475431991195227noreply@blogger.com
