I was going into the Montreal Financial District this week, when Traffic slowed and stopped to let some type of 'Green' parade thru contesting global warming, etc. Well in the financial district, many high end big cars mercedes, escalades, Hummers around there... as the protesters where ,chanting slogans such as shame shame to the hummer ,aviator escalade owners, a couple of marchers came over, signaled me to put my window down and thanked me for driving smart giving me a flower and went along their merry ways,,, How about that???

 

Hmm, anyone stop to figure out what was the carbon footprint of the parade Always funny kind of difficult to protest their cause without adding to the problem. But anyways what kind of crazy person would even want to drive a big car in Montreal? Not exactly the widest roads around there.

 

thats awesome man ! i bet that made your day 10 times better hu?!

Yup it did

BTW, Greenie Parade was a walking parade no motor venicules (Maybe 150 people) cheers Tom

 

Yes, but the parade probably disrupted traffic a good bit, causing more idling vehicles--and when a vehicle idles, it is 0% efficient.

 

Yeah i was referring to stopping up traffic, and how everyone got there in the first place. They were disrupting all the SUVs and causing them to pollute even more

 

But it makes them feel good. So, somehow, that beats logic.

 

That is pretty cool!!!

It'll be interesting to watch the "green" fad pass by the wayside over the next year, assuming my west coast friend in advertising is right. Once it does, the issues facing our life on this planet will most likely all still remain, so perhaps this will lead to something more lasting in our culture. I suspect that, given the serious issues undergirding this current fad, we'll be talking about this for a long, long time.
