How about a national or world "No Car Driving day" (except for emergencies) for an hour or a day on a Saturday.

We had Earth Hour earlier this month and Google participated during that hour. Large corporations as well as households participated by turning their lights off for an hour.

having raped and pillaged this planet for over a hundred years now, our greed and ignorance is finally starting to catch up with us--global warming, deforestation, urban/suburban sprawl, dwindling resources. perhaps it's time that we, as a species, take a collective time-out and re-think our approach to life--before it's too late.

Global warming is being caused by a slow increase in activity on the sun, the same warming can be seen on other planets as well... now tell me, how does the pollution from your car go about melting the ice on mars?

Get this through your thick skulls, global warming is a hoax intended to suck money out of you for "carbon taxes" and other methods.

Besides a little warming isn't a bad thing considering we're overdue for another global ice-age.

Oh yeah, let's pick on Ford, TOTALLY not saying anything, right?

Why don't they choose the Prius? I mean, the batteries are sent halfway across the world, and all of that nickel and iron and stuff can't come from Japan.

correction: society is a total dead end

you are the only one i agree with .. and seeing that time continues infinitly the inevidability (spellcheck) of the extinction of the human race, our planet, our sun ect. will erase that tiny little "footprint"

and all those element that we know and contain here on earth will be scattered and recollected somewhere else in this unverse .. hopefully to a region where life exists with the intelegence to make more american cars!!!!!!! .. just kidding bout that last part but reli think about it ..

[ulfenstyle]
