Good steward of planet????? yeah right, if that was the case you should remove the 914 from the road forever. Instead you sell it (for personnel gain) thus allowing that car to be driven by someone that is not a good planet steward.
maybe you should buy some of Gores carbon credits to make up for your lack of stewardship in wanting to sell your car to be used, rather than turning it into an organic compost bin. (besure to drill holes in floor so rain water can drain out, else compost will rot) Kind of like arnold nazi shwartzni**er selling off his fleet of humvees so he could sauy he is a green driver! Now his fleet (yes fleet) of humvees that he sold are being driven by multible folks, likely totally more miles driven that if arnold had kept them (I figure arnold can only drive one at a time) This post has been edited by McMark: Jul 30 2007, 01:27 PM |

hey Brer,
I just saw this discussion and should probably just let it die, but....... Thank you for articulating a position most will not discuss for fear of being anti-environment. Everything manufactured has an enviromental cost associated with it and we must consider the total cost of products. I recently saw a program on the manufacture of flashlights by Surefire. From mining the aluminum for the lights case and silica for the glass bulb, to refining the metal, manufacturing the bulb, to creating batteries that will eventually need to be disposed of, transportation of all raw materials and the shipping of the finished product.....the list goes on! An incredible amount of energy is consumed and substantial pollution created just by producing a seemingly harmless flashlight. Anyway, thanks for mentioning the unseen environmental costs of replacing your old car with a new one. |
