u could see it right at my house,i live in the us,my neighbors just
on this one block are constantly "improving" their properties,,,choppin down trees,puttin additions and decks on their houses,not just
mowin but "vacuumin" their lawns
this is what most ppl do when they get slightly ahead in their financial situation,,,,not makin the world a better place, not savin
the environment, but fussin with their vanity and material world
and my neighbors? i'm not talkin about once in a while,a new
project gets started almost every week.

Don't kid yourselves people. IT'S ALL OF US WHO ARE TO BLAME!!! If you want to cut our nations dependence on oil, quit using so much of it! Utilize public transportation, change out that SUV for a hybrid, or a more fuel economical vehichle. Don't go to Wallmart every day, make your trip to the store only once a week. Lower the heat in your house in the winter, don't run the AC so much in the summer. It's all up to us. I work in the oil field, and I tell you, the oil companies will continue to provide more and more oil at higher and higher prices until people quit the cycle.

Its used around the world. In fact the U.S. has done more for the environment than any other country in the world. For example we haven't opened a new refinery in this country since the 1970's. We can't control what the rest of the world does either. The world will continue to use oil until every last drop is gone. Everything in our daily lives revolve around it.

Maybe they are trying to save the environment, but you just don't see it. Maybe they have a compost heap in the backyard, or some of them are vegetarian, or maybe they volunteer at lake cleanups over the weekend. But the fact of the matter is, we are all humans, creatures of habit. We do our part, but one or two people can't change the world. Give them a break.

Auto manufacturers are to blame.
Why dont they offer more gas-efficient cars? Did you know GM is ramping up production of SUV's? That is incredulous.
Jeezes, offer more hybrids..give us more options and we will buy!!
