Cars

To drive a car or not to drive a car…that is the question.

Did you know that there are currently 600 million cars worldwide and 35,000 more are added daily?

Did you know the auto industry bought out the nations cable/trolley car operations and methodically closed them down? Would you ride a trolley/cable car if it were run efficiently and convenient?

Did you know that the average American car spews out more than 212 pounds of pollutants into the air a week? A WEEK!!!!

Would you ride your bike for short trips if the streets were more bike friendly? Imagine looking down on a large intersection clogged with cars and trucks…. take the vehicles away and leave the people...lots of room, lots of space.

Are cars jewelry? We think diamonds are expensive… Where did our identities as being reflected in our cars come from? Did I say identity, I meant our insecurities. Ever heard of a wealthy person who drives a clunker…how do you react, with confusion or respect?
What if they rode a bike to work…. what would you think?

Ever leave Chattanooga by plane?
Next time take note of how much space is being used to let cars move around, then notice how much space is used to let them park.

We can scan our hands and fax or email that image, within seconds, ANYWHERE in this fine world! Yet, we as humans have not developed a better way to propel ourselves around than with oil?????
Doesn’t that seem kind of odd??????
I mean think about it…Oil is such a pain for so many reasons. Why? Do you mean to tell me that no one has come up with an infinite propulsion device…using magnets or something? It’s hard to believe.

What if, instead of a seatbelt fastener sound, we had a recording reminding us that our cars spew out an average of 212 pounds of pollution in the air weekly… would you climb out and ride your bike to the video store? Videos carry easily on a bike.

Or would you rather live your life in your CAR?
