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 |

This whole "Stewardship" concept is based on the assumption that the garbage spewed by the media is scientific and not POLITICAL in nature.
NOT driving a car to spare Carbon Emissions is in my view, a passive act, and does little except satisfy a media-induced "guilt" that we are all environmental criminals. The internet provides easily accessible "soap-boxes" so you can completely assuage your guilt by making everyone know you did a "good deed". This is just LAZY, and really ineffective. Population continues to grow. The net Carbon Emissions is higher with more consumers. I don't necessarily buy in to the "global warming" theory as it is yet to be proved that this isn't a normal cycle the earth does anyhow (it destroys itself almost entirely every now and then). If you care one bit, and want to actively DO something that produces REAL results... go to your nursery and buy a couple flats of tree seedlings. Go find some open space you like to take walks in and plant them. Take a water can with you each day you go for a walk (at least during summer) and water them. Put some kind of anti-deer protection on them and take responsibility to "STEWARD" these trees to fend for themselves (a year or so). One full grown tree can process enough CO2 to produce Oxygen for a family of 4 for one year! Keep driving your 914.. those trees need their nutrition!!! |
