There's two small things that add up to change.
I think on Oprah's green show (I know, snicker snicker) she said if every American replaced just one bulb with a CFT bulb it would take the equivalent of a million cars off the road. Or something like that. As an example of something very little, that can be done. If buying a different lightbulb changes your life or your wallet you have bigger problems. lol

yup - and those changes are happening fairly easy and will have some effect. all i was saying though is the large scale changes are going to take time to bring in. the electric car - fantastic possibilities. could use a bit more fine tuning but the main thing is, phasing that in is going to be a long process. it'd be great to get all gasoline powered cars off the road but a change like that won't happen in the span of a couple years - it will simply cost too much. i wasn't saying that being environmentally friendly is some huge pie in the sky dream - just that the timeframe some environmentalists sound like they want is.
