Idiot SUV owners have trouble selling

[dharmagirl]

I never called anyone an idiot or a moron and I think the person who started this thread was out of line by saying, “Idiot SUV owners”. There are plenty of idiot non-SUV owners out there on the road.

I know because I see them picking their noses (no, your car is NOT a shield that renders you invisible to the naked eye), singing to the radio, and engaging in complete beauty makeovers in their rear view mirrors every day.

I dont have kids but if I did, I would want to teach them to be good stewards of this poor planet. Setting an example by driving an efficient, more eco-friendly car would be at the top of my list.

I applaud all efforts to compost, do organic gardening, recycle, etc. I cant wait to move into my new house so I can compost and raise worms. My personal goal is to reduce our amount of weekly trash by 50%.

I ain’t no tree huggin’ environmentalist, but…

… SUVs are a symptom of the real environmental problem (if you want to call it that), which is humans, as I’ve pointed out previously. If every couple on Earth limited themselves to one child, the population of our planet would drop to roughly 1.5 billion over the next century (according to Alan Weisman’s book “The World Without Us”). There would cease to be an environmental problem, even in the absence of new technologies.

I drive an SUV. I’m not having any children (which has nothing to do with wanting to save the environment). Net/net I’m one of the most unintentionally positive forces for the environment going.

Join me, won’t you? Or don’t. I could care less, actually. Just don’t drive a Prius and have more than one child while thinking you’re an environmentalist. That would be hypocritical. Like Al Gore.

I’m sorry – I dont buy the excuse that you “need” a huge vehicle for kids. It’s a “want” not a “need.”

You cannot properly fit 3 of the safest rated carseats or boosters across the backseat of small or almost all mid-sized vehicles. And in CA, kids are in boosters until 6 years or under 60 pounds (many states it is 8/80 and there are families in CA who choose to follow this safer limit instead).

My answer to that is: don’t have 3 kids.

Save money and the environment. The world really doesn’t need more future SUV buyers.
