Another enviro-hyprocrite

John Martin wore a look of satisfaction Tuesday after finishing two Monster Biscuits at Hardee's.

"Those big biscuits are the best," the 70-year-old said. "They're filled with every kinda thing you could imagine. Sausage. Bacon. Egg. Cheese. Oh my ..."

For most of the world, going by is getting tougher. A gallon of regular unleaded gasoline cost $3.07 when Martin sat down and grabbed the breakfast world by its biscuits...

"I've owned a hybrid from the very start," Martin said. "I bought the first hybrid sold in Galesburg [Illinois] - that was back in 2000 and it was a Toyota Prius...

"I have to admit, I feel a little smug when I see a big SUV filling up at the gas station," Martin said. "But my decision was really based on a concern for what we are doing to our environment.

"We have to do what we can..." ========== If this moron was THAT concerned about the environment, he wouldn't be driving AT ALL. Tom Loewy, the witless "reporter" who wrote this article, should have asked Martin how DRIVING to a fast-food joint to eat MEAT was of benefit to the environment.

He's probably just bright green not deep green, duh:

# Deep Green. To radical environmentalists, our current urban, industrial economic system is unsustainable. Technologies are regarded as in large measure responsible for the difficulties we are now in, and a return to more rural, post-industrial, locally based economies is regarded as not only desirable but inevitable. Nanotechnology is, like most new technologies, viewed with deep distrust, as very likely to lead to undesirable and possibly unintended consequences. # Bright Green. Another strand of environmentalists share with Deep Greens the conviction that the current socio-economic system is unsustainable, but are confident that new technology and imaginative design will make possible an urban culture with a high standard of living that is sustainable. These people look with enthusiasm to nanotechnology for new sustainable energy systems and decentralised, low waste manufacturing processes.

The irony is if he had purchased a Corolla instead of a Pruis five years ago, the amount of money he would have save over buying the Pruis, would have paid for nearly all of the fuel he would have used in the Corolla for five years. LOL
