Abandon your car
So hybrid cars arn’t going to save the world, why am I not surprised. As reported in the Guardian, hybrid cars are as polluting as the traditional family estate cars. I love the way that politicians and celebrities have adopted the hybrid as a symbol of their green creditials - “I’ve got a hybrid therefore i’m doing my part to save the environment” are the words uttered so easily.
The hybrid car is a convenient symbol - only a few thousand pounds more than a typical car and what’s great is you don’t have to change your lifestyles one bit. You can still drive where you want, when you want. But as we know to save the environment we must change our habits…and this is the hardest thing of all. David Cameron would agree with me on this- he’s attempt to grab the green vote faulted last week when it was reported that a car followed his bicycle to work full of his paperwork and clothes. Clearly Dave needs to get a bag for his bike.
If politicians really want to prove to me they care about the environment then why not just use public transport or walk. May be after a week of being late because of buses and trains they may also start to think seriously about the transport system as well! Double wammy!!
