| | Is it just me, or are the rising gas prices the answer to the environmentalist's pleadings?

Driving this March was down 4% from last March, a record drop. For the first time in six years, people actually planned to drive less this Memorial Day than last Memorial Day. Because of the expense of gas, people are motivated to drive slower and carpool, as well as just plain travel less. Maybe more people will begin to regularly use public transportation.
Gas prices may be shooting up, but maybe this is the way back to a greener earth.
PS I do not consider myself an environmentalist other than the fact that I believe God created the earth and put us in charge, and therefore we should take care of it. However, I do like the idea of a more slow-paced life, perhaps lacking some of the noise and insanity that seems to accompany our culture and the fact that everyone has a personal car. And added bonus: less driving equals less pollution!
PPS Did you know that Newsies is an amazing movie?
