So I take public trnasportation to work becasue gas prices are ridiculous, and I've come to like not driving. I recycle, becasue it's easy to put things in a seperate bin. I waste water becasue I love a long hot shower in the mornings.

I'll add my confessions. We take the subway because we don't want to pay those prices for gas. I recycle because Ralphie makes me do it. I hate recycling. I think it's a scam. I hate the smugness of ten speed bicyclists and people who drive hybrid cars.
I also feel that the big car companies need to shift the need for gas. There should be a way to power cars with bio disel by now. But they are preventing that. Me not driving doesn't do a dang thing for the environment. It needs to be on a bigger scale. But until big business is onboard, there's not much we can do to truly change what's happening...
