But then he lights a cigarette up with the windows closed. That didn't make any sense to me. He's obviously showing concern for the environment but not enough for his own body?? There's some weird cats on this planet.

Oh, and how does smoking mean you don't care about the environment? I mean, I don't smoke and never have, but I used to do habitat restoration for a living, and a lot of people I worked with smoked. Oh wait, those weren't cigarettes........

It adds up really fast. By moving from my Ford Explorer ( I loved that truck) to my Toyota Prius, I went from 20ish MPG to 45 MPG. Possibly saving the world is just an added benefit.

8	X-san Mon 6/23/2008 6:25a	It's certainly possible for one to be self-loathing while at the same time be environmentally or "world" conscious. Just look at any and all members of PETA. ;)
