I'm not what you would call an environmentalist. I am not fanatic about recycling. Personally, I dont believe we will be around in another billion years. No I am not saying the world will end tomorrow, next year or before I die(which will hopefully be a long time from now as I have just turned 33). HOWEVER, what about those of us who cant afford these NEW cars. I have a family of 5. We drive a GMC Safari, which is over 8 years old. My husband needed a new vehicle for work. Did he go buy a new hybrid? NO, we couldnt afford it. Not with prices of EVERYTHING going up. We had to choose between walking around naked and no food or buying a less expensive vehicle, which ended up being a 13 year old car. I am glad all the people touting the new hybrid, electric cars can afford them. Because we cant and I dont know anyone who can!! If you want to buy me one large enough to carry around me, my husband and my 3 growing children, then by all means do so! Otherwise, leave me and my gas guzzling, emissions emitting, 'non green' vehicle ALONE!!!!
