Ok.  Like a bike?   What is your suggestion?[/quote]

Bikes kill the planet.

You need to walk, wearing straw sandals. [/quote]

Only crawling would satisfy the sanctimonious PP.

It's funny I grew up in a part of the country that got a lot of snow and neither we, nor most of our neighbors, had SUVs.  And we did just fine.

Of course we didn't live in some house in the country or exurbs because back then only people who needed to live in the exurbs actually lived there.

But now we have entitled folks in oversized houses chewing up land in the middle of nowhere who then need to compound their negative impact on the planet by driving everywhere in an SUV.

Or maybe the OP works from home from her farm.[/quote]

People moved to the country or exurbs to get away from insufferable people like you. [/quote]

Unfortunately there is no getting away from the selfish people living in the middle of nowhere whose pollution and endless driving negatively impact the rest of us.  But hey Audi makes some great commercials that make smug people feel good about conspicuous consumption and killing the planet![/quote]

It doesn't matter what you drive vs. how much.  So, how many miles have you put on your vehicles in the past year?[/quote]

Actually both matter - how much carbon you generate is a measure of both.

In our case our family owns one car.  In 2019 we put 6000 miles on that one car.  The car averages about 32MPG over the entire year.  Previous years we averaged about 8000 miles a year.  This year I'd be surprised if we put 3000 miles on the car (we've not even gone through 2 tanks of gas since mid-March and that included a trip to the Beach).[/quote]

I don't really care given I don't drive much.  If you were that worried drive less.[/quote]
