Nice, but in their "what can I do" section, they left out the all-important fifth item, which should have preceded "Talk, Think, Volunteer, Donate". Here's how it could have been phrased:
Stop Driving So Damn Much. If people stopped treating the use of fossil fuels as a right, rather than a convenience, we wouldn't be digging for oil in places where this sort of disaster is only a matter of time. America is undergoing an obesity epidemic. Maybe if you nitwits would walk to the grocery store now and again instead of driving the half-mile, you'd solve two problems at once. Yes, you might end up breaking a sweat now and again. Cry me a river, overprivileged jerkwads.
Just a thought.
I agree, oh mysterious one. I gave up my car when I came to Atlanta. I don't regret it at all. I haven't known a neighborhood this well since I was a little kid.
I use public transportation when I have an errand to run, and we have a car for emergencies. I don't think that the half-mile is enough to tackle the obesity problem, but I think that there are enough good reasons to go for a hike--not the least is an excuse to listen to my podcasts, which I do every night.
We should stop driving. At least, wait for everyone to get their own personal Puffin.
Heheh.
