I'm at least honest and consistent about it. I know my presence has huge implications on the environment. I accept it. I'm not going to arbitrarily draw a line based on my own agenda so I can look down from my high horse.
No one is talking about going back to sod huts, though. lio is talking about some seriously low hanging fruit. A guy driving an F-250 to his office job is not any worse off from a quality of life standpoint if he's driving a CR-V or a Civic instead. He's still sitting in the car, listening to Nickelback and sipping his coffee, and getting to go where he wants.
