First it was aggressive recycling (everything we could possibly recycle), then it was CFLs, then reusable shopping bags, etc.<br /><br />We will be in the market for a new car in a year or two and will consider hybrids at that time. Even if it doesn't make the most sense financially, it might have an impact on our use of resources. And we will plan on keeping the car for quite some time, so hopefully it will pay off in the long run.patrickhttp://cashmoneylife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38606399.post-24924548757752985012009-04-22T14:02:00.000-07:002009-04-22T14:02:00.000-07:00Yeah, but I actually pretty much agree with your p...Yeah, but I actually pretty much agree with your point. <br /><br />However, I am somewhat more optimistic. I think that the more you talk about something the more action you prompt. Even if that action is small to begin with, over time it gains momentum and impact.<br /><br />For example, when we started out with CFLs, I changed out one. I then added a few more. Then we replaced virtually all of them. Then I started thinking about other things we could do, so we installed Edison on our computers. Then we gave up on bottled water...<br /><br />It's a rolling thing. You get started, you get in the habit and things move faster from there. The only way to create some small habits is to get people aware. It's all about awareness.Shadoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11742366461186295248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38606399.post-45530016953161757652009-04-22T13:53:00.000-07:002009-04-22T13:53:00.000-07:00Thanks for the mention - my title looks a little b...Thanks for the mention - my title looks a little bit grumpy mixed in with the other more-helpful-sounding titles, doesn't it?Steve @ brip blaphttp://www.bripblap.comnoreply@blogger.com
