More is Less- for all of us

Report: U.S. Cars Responsible For Nearly Half of World’s Greenhouse Gases
A new report by Environmental Defense has determined that American cars and pickup trucks are responsible for nearly half of the greenhouse gases emitted by automobiles globally although they comprise only 30 percent of the world’s cars. The study found that cars in the U.S. are driven more miles, face lower fuel economy standards and use fuel with more carbon than many of those driven in other countries.

So while the West looks the other way and keeps blaming India and China for the increase in oil prices and green house gases, the truth still manages to trickle out into the open. Larger cars, SUVs and trucks are the pride possesions of the richer nations. While a tiny population continues to love these joy rides, the rest of this world pays for it! Do your part before it is too late!
