now that we're on this topic, i have a bone to pick with the western tradition of kicking our kids out of the house as soon as they hit 18. nowhere else on the globe do they do this! families work together, live together and save together. except in the western world, where we throw our kids out and expect them to build a life for themselves or sink in the attempt. this requires more housing, yet another vehicle, more insurance, and more everything.

there must be a conspiracy: orangic food which is supposed to be better for you is always 2 to 3x more expensive that the regular item of the same food. i've seen organic hamburger buns, 6 pack for $9.00.
organic cabbage $4.99 a head depending on season etc.
it doesn't make sense, if it's organic it should be cheaper because there is less overhead and cost to produce them. you don't need chemical fertilizers, herbicides and insectides, which traditionally for farmers have been the most cost consuming part of farming.
then they come with electric cars and from that picture, you'd have to be blind and have no self respect to seen in one. it doesn't help the fact that electric cars are associated with hippies and tree huggers.
if they made them look cool like tron, with state of the art electronics and an interior that looked like it was from the 24th century, then people might buy them. but most hybrids look like they are made to appeal to people who wear socks with their sandals.
they are completely marketing them wrong. they shouldn't even mention it's electric. they should focus on what people want in a car and not hows its powered.
The OP mentioned recycling, I dont know what country this person is in but my country of birth is New Zealand and do you know where most of New Zealands recycling ends up? THE THIRD WORLD!! Yep it gets dumped not in our own garbage heaps but the third worlds so I really dont understand how recycling is "eco freindly"

The Indians name I believe was Iron Eyes Cody.
Yes, I met him when I was like 7 or 8 at a Native American arts and craft show many MANY moons ago.
