Howard: One has to aplaude your aproach, as well as the others who have joined in. I know myself, I've been driving less lately. I rather doubt the guys here at YT are excessive gas users to begin with. We are much too busy on here to be out on the roads. To begin with, I think we are allready a rather frugal lot.

We just have to think of ways to get the rest of folks across this continant to do the same. We can do the same with them as society did with smokers. Look what that campaign did to the tobacco industry. Tell them you don't mind them burning their gasoline, if they can do it without using the publics oxygen.

We have placed far too much of our buying dollars in the hands of multi-national corperations. Society does that almost everywhere they shop. Got to start asking the retailer how far the item was trucked. Tell him you don't buy products that have been trucked more than 200 miles. Think about that one, it would revitalize small towns and rural economy. I know we are not going to build tractors, cars or trucks in every little community. But we sure as heck don't need to truck Ontario tomatoes to British Columbia, nor do we need British Columbia tomatoes in Ontario. That going on right now, same truck hauling tomatoes both ways.
