> I own a Jeep, but I own a bike and a pair of shoes. > > I try to use all of them in their proper time and place.
Note that I have no problem with SUVs - they are useful vehicles. My beef is with the Proud and Wasteful consumers. > As for the "typical American" attitude towards the environment, I think that is almost as much due to the messenger as the message. LOL, Jerry, one of your fellow Americans (and mine) just said that More is the American Way, proudly, so its not just me that thinks so. > I think there is a knee-jerk response to most attempts to force environmental concerns down people's throats. The point is that folks should care without having them forced down their throats. > As soon as environmentally friendly products are as useful and as cheap as their "dirty" counterparts, people will switch in droves. Not really - the vehicle trend now is towards ridiculously large. How many people need all the room a suburban has? > Asking people to give up their way of living for "the greater good" I feel is not taking basic human nature into account. I think then, we need to overcome our basic human nature and teach our kids to care about each other and the planet. > And we need to start selling environmentally friendly products as PRODUCTS, and not tacking on a politically-correct "green" tax.
