Finances or Enviornment?

So now we've been laughed at and called crazy, but we think we're being wise. It seems as though Clay and I have become much more concerned about our enviornment and the world in which we hope to raise children in. It started with some documentaries on Dateline, or 20/20 and it soon escalated to us going to the movies to see An Inconvenient Truth. So first, let me remind everyone that I really don't enjoy going to the movies. Usually it's cold, uncomfortable, and there's someone just being really annoying. So, I opt to wait until we can order it from Netflix. This movie was great! I could have done with out some of the political babble Gore shared, but for the most part I felt it was very educational! I do beleive that it should be shared with everyone. The real question is, what will the people actually do with it? Let's be honest, it's real easy to recycle...do you do it? This brings me to us being "crazy" part. We want to buy a scooter! Not a little rinky dink one, but one that actually has some get up and go. Why? First of all, we want to help the enviornment. That doesn't mean I'm giving up my SUV but we will share it! We'll use the scooter for getting to point A to point B. I took one for a ride today and it was lots of fun! Now, for those of you who know my husband....we are also doing this for financial reasons. They are cheap! They get anywhere from 80-100 miles to the gallon, and Clay figured out after 20 years the money saved will pay for our kids college. Don't worry! That is not how we are funding our children's college accounts, but he seemed to think that was cool! So, I'll let you know how the scooter shopping is going. In the mean time...visit An Inconvenient Truth. It doesn't hurt to see what little changes will make a world of difference.
