Opportunity for America due to high gas prices - part 1

I believe that the high price of gas is an opportunity for Americans to become better stewards of the environment. And a wake-up call that we are not the only nation with large energy needs. We can also use the cost of gas as a reason to become a more healthy nation.

Better Stewards

As we drive back and forth to work, school and/or grocery stores in our behemoth vehicles that consume gas like a college student at an all you can eat buffet, we need to realize that we are killing the planet and ultimately ourselves. The green house gases that are created by our beloved vehicles are large contributors to global warming.

It is time to reduce the amount of gas that we use daily.

• Drive less - consolidate trips, walk or ride a bike
  
• Drive more fuel efficiently - Stop driving aggressively
  
• Drive a fuel efficient vehicle - If you are able to, purchase a hybrid vehicle
