like i'm one to talk, i have an expedition parked in the garage as i type (does it help it hasn't been running since thanksgiving though?) :)
i feel we're a country of overindulgence (oh dear, thsi is why i stay away from this board.) as a whole, i mean. i thinkn this is how we are seen. not that i don't overindulge at all my dear. i love twinkies, and not just 1 or 2, but 10 or 12 :)
and i like driving big suvs too. even though i know i shouldn't. just pressing down on that gas pedal and hearing that roar, smelling that gas burning, makes me feel like a man (woah! woman).
but, something needs to be done. i feel i do what i can. i lecture the kids on the importance of using as little tp as possible. recycle. turn down the heat. turn down the central air. wash clothes only in cold water (why use hot water for laudry anyway? we are not wallowing in mud here anyway!). it's the little things that we all can do to save the planet (or not? maybe we can't be saved and may as well take advantage whiel we can, right?)
but, when it's nice, we walk to the bus stop to get the little one (but i still love driving around during the summer. best way to clear my mind)
and i've been to europe. i couldn't get over those little tiny cars. how do tall people fit inside them anyway? mr kk wouldn't be able to ride in one of those things. we'd have to cut the top out of the driveer's seat so his head could stick out!
