Climate Change Worries? Want to Go Green?

Concerns over the environment, and the push to go green has grown exponentially over the years until everyone’s talking about it these days.

In my opinion, I think one of the ways to reduce greenhouse gases is to have people give up their passion for fast cars for the situation to change. It’s just not possible to have a significant reduction in carbon emissions if everyone drives a ton of steel around everyday.

Even with advances in technology, nothing beats personal contact, so personal mobility is still a important and critical in a modernised society. Sometimes taking public transport just can’t cut it — but driving alone in a car, much less a big car, also doesn’t justify it’s use. Why not travel around in a smaller car? This requires a wee bit of change though, and seeing how hard it is to change mindsets, this change may probably only take place over a couple of generations.

That said about smaller cars, I thought the Mini was a small car until I found out about the 1964 Peel P50. I love this clip where Jeremy Clarkson takes a look at the Peel — a great idea for a great car. And mind you, this was way back in the 1964! I laughed at 7:17 haha
