    I thought of an idea... putting bumper stickers on hummers and gas guzzling vehicles that say "Wear protection when fucking(or raping) the environment" and tape a condom to the bumper sticker.

    If I was you I wouldn't try defacing one of those expensive vehicles you'll find yourself arrested.

    Greenpeace ran a campaign in the UK where what looked like parking (voilation) tickets ( but actually contained thought provoking info on their vehicles)were placed under the window wipers of gas guzzlers. This was an awareness campaign. There were also lobbying campaigns by various environmental groups to increase tax on these monsters too.

    If you want to get proactive about something then join your local environmental group.

    Greenpeace is a band of dipshits. They use helicoptors, they dont explain what they do with all the human waste on thier ships, ect. They contribute the the problem not act as examples of solutions.


    If I caught somebody defacing my property for any reason I think they would be wearing a bumper sticker the size of my boot on thier ass!

    I don't believe in messing with someone's personal property. Leaving a note under the wipers is one thing but a bumper sticker is different.

    you can leave a condom and a note underneath their windshield wiper stating what you said if you want to. even though they're defacing the environment, you shouldnt deface them. good luck buying lots of condoms though

    I would go for the bumper sticker, because they can't just throw it away..its guarenteed to stay in their minds longer...and make fun of them in public ^_^

    who cares about their ugly expensive vehicles...yeah we're damaging their property but theyre damaging the Earth...

    I believe that if you reside in a temperate (not seriously snowy) city/suburban area (not rural), you should have to pay a ridiculous tax (think 50% of the purchase price) EVERY year to drive any vehicle with 4wd or more than 4 cylinders, UNLESS you can PROVE a justifiable NEED for said vehicle. (contractors, tradesmen, etc.) Problem solved.

    there was a campaign that started in southern california where these guys printed tons of bumper stickers that said "Im changing the climate, ask me how!" and they just stuck those on SUVs and it spread from there.

    What owners of gas guzzling SUVs are doing is a far greater crime against the environment and future generations than sticking bumper stickers.
    Global warming is a reality. The word's environment is changing fast.

    People need to be educated. Wake up people.
    Gas guzzling SUVs are mere status symbols and consume much of the world's non-renewable resources.

    contributing to pollution in hopes of ending pollution? Property is a contrivance regarded as law by the cowherdly or weak.

    Wouldn't it be a waste of resources to make bumper stickers in the first place, also I would imagine them just throwing the sticker on the ground. I mean if they don't care about wasting fuel and ect from their vechile what makes you think that they're going to go to the garbage can with the sticker?

    Hummers do less damage to the environment than the Hybrid Toyota Prius does.

    The Toyota Prius, the flagship car for the environmentally conscious, is the source of some of the worst pollution in North America, and takes more combined energy to produce than a Hummer, says the Recorder.

    Consider:

    • The nickel contained in the Prius' battery is mined and smelted at a plant in Ontario that has caused so much environmental damage to the surrounding environment that NASA has used the 'dead zone' around the plant to test moon rovers.
    • Dubbed the Superstack, the factory has spread sulfur dioxide across northern Ontario, becoming every environmentalist's nightmare.
    • Acid rain around the area was so bad it destroyed all the plants and the soil slid down off the hillside, according to Canadian Greenpeace energy-coordinator David Martin.
    • After leaving the plant, the nickel travels to Europe, China, Japan and United States, a hardly environmentally sound round the world trip for a single battery.
    But that isn't even the worst part, says the Record. According to a study by CNW Marketing, the total combined energy to produce a Prius (consisting of electrical, fuel, transportation, materials and hundreds of other factors over the expected lifetime), is greater than what it takes to produce a Hummer:

    • The Prius costs an average of $3.25 per mile driven over a lifetime of 100,000 miles -- the expected lifespan of the Hybrid.
    • The Hummer, on the other hand, costs a more fiscal $1.95 per mile to put on the road over an expected lifetime of 300,000 miles.
    • That means the Hummer will last three times longer than a Prius and use almost 50 percent less combined energy doing it.

    debunking the college article.

    the recorder is a university paper. Yeah, a college paper is a reliable source.

    they aren't.

    Neither is CNW research.
    I once ran across their site looking for a dust to dust on the new beetle, and I had to wade thru pages and pages about their train hobby. and about their hot rod (apologists?) they do not ever release either raw data or methodology for peer review. While holding onto raw data is understandable, methodology examinations would only help their business, IF and that's a big if, the company was interested in accuracy.
    Even political surveys release what they asked and percentages in the response.

    Somehow, I imagine some eco-freaks brain going into meltdown, after reading that. Whatever happened to the "environmental" nonsense of "it's the thought that counts?"

    But it's hardly surprising. Doing something, just to be "green," being too lazy to do any research as to the "green" claims, is bound to have such "unindended consequences."

    Why don't people listen to more good talk radio? They point out such things on programs like Rush Limbaugh all the time. Rush has played this funny/sad song, about some enviro-weenie who drives a little tin-can Yugo car, thinking he is "saving the environment" or whatever nonsense, to which he soon gets creamed by a truck. And the song ends something about, across town, another deluded idiot is buying ... a Yugo.

    Yeah, I'm into some of the "environmental" BS, like carpooling, combining trips, or just stay home more often and boycott the greedy price-gouging oil monopoly corporations, but for different reasons. Because I am frugal and like for life to be in some respects, simpler, which it isn't simpler if I am always having to "go somewhere."

    I think another common phrase Rush uses about liberals/enviro wackos, is "symbolism over substance." Just the other day, somebody was telling me about how they have a lot of stuff on their PC, to make it look more like a Mac. And yet it doesn't run like a Macintosh. Obvious question: Why not just buy a Mac, the real thing? What good is symbolism, if it has so little depth or reality to it?

    But shouldn't the "common sense" man, have known there was something "wrong" with hybrids, just from seeing the "sticker shock" at the higher price, at a car dealership? Why pay a premium upfront price, for a trendy new technology car that performs almost as well as conventional and time-proven technology, just to go from point A to B? Is there really any reason why a car must cost almost more than a house? Considering that cars are much more mass-produced and put together by robots, far more than houses are?

    If hybrids are to become more common, they really need to improve the battery technology, include more "green"-consistant options standard as the missing "power cord" for short urban commuting trips, and a solar panel to boost gas milage slightly or eliminate gas usage altogether for dear old granny who all she does is drive to the supermarket twice a month. And stop this "environmental" nonsense of "my car is greener than your car," and make them blend in more. If I drive a hybrid, do I really want it to be "obvious?" Why can't I have a dash that looks normal and doesn't exxagerate the "hybrid" function? If it's a real car, make it even more like a real car.

    And I have been wondering, when the shoe is going to drop, and those "green" hybrid owners, get hit with a hefty battery disposal "environmental" tax?

    did you even read the link refuting the COLLEGE paper article?
    or are you like so many of your ideological brethren, taking Rush the pill poppers word and calling it gospel?

    yes, great idea... plastic stickers, with a solvent based adhiesive backing.. mmmm... solventi n the ink to print them too, and dont forget the paper backing...


    thats pointless pollution... no one is going to take any notice, you'll look like a moron, and you are increasing pollution by doing it

    besides, no vehicle pollutes while its parked, and you dont know how often the vehicle is used and what for. an SUV is nesicary for pulling a heavy trailer, perhaps the owner uses it once a month to pull a trailer, and uses a smaller car for the day to day usage.

    this sort of campagne is nothing short of low level terroism..
