Ford purchases 3,000,000 tires annually, which it takes one barrel of oil to make a tire, so hypothetically, if everyone purchases a new hybrid or any other Green vehicle, where is the Green? Green vehicles allow a person to travel further on a tank of gas, so I would assume, because of the increased mileage, tires would need to be changed earlier -- increasing tire purchases. An an increase in the production of tires will result in the increase of oil. Where is the Green?
In the production of a Green vehicles, tires aren’t the only item needing oil. Mostly every item in the production of an automobile takes some amount of oil, and gasoline is only a small part.
WE, the regurgitators of political verbiages, promote the purchasing of new Green vehicles. Purchasing new Green won’t heed our dependence of oil. I believe new Green vehicles will appease only OUR belief that the Green innovations are technologically advancing our goals?
Stop rolling the die of our manufactured game of Life. Stop running after Forest Gump.
Walking is the only true Green Revolution, yet walking will never happen. There will be always an excuse why walking isn't. Therefore holding tight to these excuses, walking won't happen in the near future and our dependence will continue.
