I ride my bike to the train station (Sometimes walk), I take mass transit to work everyday. I use subway and buses whenever I can. I drive my little Toyota corolla to the ground (It is 15 years old with 70k miles on it). I am almost vegetarian, and I buy local produce whenever it is in season. I live in a small house, I do my own laundry, no dry cleaning, My heating bill is about $150.00 a month in the winter, and my electric bill is about $80.00 in the dead heat of summer, I never travel in private jet, I don’t even fly first or business class, I only travel once a year. So, I guess I leave a rather small carbon foot print compare to other people right?

I am in the market for a new car. And I picked the Hummer 3. I don’t drive much, but I would like a big enough car to carry my bike, trail my daugther’s horse, move stuffs when I need it, and drive to the snow country when I want to. So, what is wrong with getting a Hummer that I feel I won’t put more than 4000 miles on per year? Why should I be hated because of what car I drive? So, everything else I do as a responsible human being doesn’t count anymore just because I am a occassional Hummer Driver?

I like the look of the car, just like people likes ugly dogs or cats, I happen to like the ugly look of the Hummer. Ever heard of the expression as “It is so ugly that it is actually kinda cute” I know I won’t drive enough to make the gas price hurt my wallet. Besides the point, the car is not even that expensive, it cost the same or less than a BMW 3 series. (Probably use just a tag more of gas than those little sedans, I know because my husband own one)

Since now that I had been Naturalized US citizen, I would prefer to help out my own countryman and buy American instead of foreign. Is that wrong too? So, I should be hated just because I want a Hummer? Not a Hybrid? How do you know I am not converting the Hummer to a Biofuel in a few year when the techology is available for mass market?

Lighten up people, your objective is not scrunize your fellow countrymen who have a different taste than you. You objective should be hounding our politicians, and government to be less wasteful, develop new alternative energy and maybe even start a movement as be “Energy independent in 10 years”. So we can screwed the oil rich Middle Eastern country royally. They will no longer be able to hold energy source over our head, and may actually have to change for the better.

Am I sounding a little hypocritical? Maybe, since I do want a big car. But the distance I drive is minimal, so, why can’t I have what I would like, but still be an Environmentally Friendly Human Being?
