Thread Name: BS: Seen the SUV = Terrorism Ad?
Subject: RE: BS: Seen the SUV = Terrorism Ad?
To me, the only question that matters is, not how can I buy a fuel efficient car for myself, but how can we change the policies that allow all our nations to consume resources and pollute the planet at the rate we are currently doing it?

Having a handful of environmentally minded folks driving around in fuel cell cars and mini-cars won't effect the problems, because the problems are so much bigger, and more complex than just what we personally drive. People are going to have to get their heads around a whole lot more than MPGs and fuel combustion engines to turn this thing around, and frankly, I don't see how pointing the fingers at the drivers, selfish and myopic and stupid as many of them undoubtedly already are, will contribute to changing any minds or behaviors about the problems either. So then my question is, could this money have been better spent going to an effective environmental organization, rather than the media moguls?
