63. Yes.
It's not an SUV but a 1998 Ford F150 and I can't afford to buy a newer vehicle at the moment. My last vehicle was a 1972 VW bug and I drove it for 23 years. Now, if you want to buy me a shiny new Prius, I wouldn't turn it down.

Having said that, here:

I've been recycling since 1994.
My recycle-to-trash ratio is 2:1.
I make almost all of my food from scratch (no prepackaged foods)
I buy in bulk
I buy rice and flour in a cloth bag.
I use cloth bags when I go shopping.
I ride my bike when the air quality allows.
I've ridden the bus for many years.
I have a garden and grow much of my own food.
I buy local produce.
I can my own food which means I reuse the same jars year after year.
I shop at thrift stores.
I have 3 compost bins in which my kitchen waste goes and the end result goes into my garden.
I sponsor a neighborhood plant swap twice a year.

Is that GREEEEEENNNNN enough for you, there Sparky? I'm sorry, but making a quick judgment of someone JUST because of the vehicle they drive is one-dimensional thinking.
