[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd love for someone to explain to me how on earth these things are "green" or environmentally friendly. They're mass produced China crap, cheaply made, left everywhere like litter, and mostly used for fun. And driven around in big gas guzzling, illegally parked vans charging them.

People say they use them for the "last mile" - you know what's "green" - WALKING. Just walk that extra .7 mile. Sheesh. [/quote]

Aside from the vans that transport them you failed to name one thing about the scooters themselves that are environmentally harmful.

Clearly you don't live in a place where these things have been dropped, otherwise you would have seen them in rivers, streams, wetlands, parks, and trails -- totally discarded and falling apart. Batteries soaking into the soil and waters. [/quote]

No I live in the friggin city.
You know where there's lots of concrete not rivers or streams or wetlands.
And as for parks and trails - they get picked up and put back into service how is that harmful?[/quote]

We live in Northwest Washington, which has streams and wetlands and is not the inner city.  Who exactly removes these discarded scooters from parks and trails?  The National Park Service budget has been cut and our NPS and DC parks are under maintained as they are.[/quote]
