Edited on Sat Apr-23-05 04:52 PM by Dover
your concerns for alter-natives, here it is. Place your hand over your vehicle and repeat after me:



Pledge of Allegiance

I hereby declare my pledge of allegiance to America's independence from our nation's economically and environmentally damaging reliance on foreign and domestic oil, and fossil fuels.

In order to promote the long-term health of the economy and the efficient use of my taxpayer dollars, I call upon my elected officials to pass legislation that improves fuel efficiency standards and increases investment in renewable energy. Our nation and world needs a future powered by clean energy -- including solar, wind and hydrogen from renewable sources -- not coal and nuclear power.

I urge our legislative leaders to demand that U.S. automakers increase research, development and marketing for electric, hybrid and fuel cell vehicles. I further call upon our elected officials, including state and municipal government agencies, to purchase alternative fuel vehicles, renewable energy, and green building technologies.

I hereby accept a personal commitment to improve my own automobile's fuel efficiency through simple maintenance. I also will seek out new car purchases with high fuel efficiency standards or utilize alternative fuel technology, as well as reduce energy use in my home and, where possible, purchase solar and other renewable technologies.

This I pledge for the well being of the environment, and the security of our nation's, and our world's, future generations.


Now sign here before you go - http://www.globalgreen.org/pledge/

You are now officially an alter-native.
Don't you feel better? Glad you wandered in?

4. I'm not an Austinite
But I'm just north a little ways in DFW. I have to work Saturdays, otherwise I'd be there. I'm a huge fan of biodiesel. I'm saving up for my Beetle TDI.

www.biodiesel.org and www.tdiclub.com are great sources of info about it.

:)

6. Wish we could make it
Sounds like a lot of fun - we'd probably be driving a Prius if we had a little more cash to spare. But we're rooting for you!
