But I have read some things that state that little steps mean nothing. I like to think that's wrong! After all, when there's a bigger problem should you just pile on?<BR/><BR/>But you pointed out the bigger issue. Many (most?) cities don't have decent public transportation. And I just read that the fuel we burn for heating/cooling our homes has a bigger impact than all of our driving. So we'd better get into alternative energy soon, but people generally don't support it, and politicians won't do anything they're not forced to do. Unless we're all screaming about this, I don't see how we'll make progress.<BR/><BR/>But then, we can start screaming, can't we? And when you say conserver-if that means limiting the electricity you use, even "little" things like turning off the lights when you leave the room, or not turning the thermostat up to 75 in the winter could be making a huge difference.spotted elephanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17681544565260222585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20908771.post-1145758711341796762006-04-22T19:18:00.000-07:002006-04-22T19:18:00.000-07:00again...people are stupid. and unfortunatly, i am...again...people are stupid. and unfortunatly, i am one of them. i drive WAY too much - because my stupid city had NO MASS TRANSIT! and has shot down the proposal several times.
