I've never hugged a tree, humped a cactus or even licked a river (although where I live, there are three big rivers), but based on my environmental values, I'm pretty sure your wrath is directed towards people like me.

My electric bill has consistently been in the $20 - $27 range, not much different than yours. But rates in my community tend to be higher than the rest of the country, so a better measure is kilowatt-hours. My kilowatt hours for Nov 20 - Dec 20 was 144.

So do I and I live in a humid climate. Today, it got up to 83 degrees, unusually high for April in Pennsylvania. Gee maybe global warming is real.

I ride buses to and from work during the week as well. Sometimes I walk home the office, a distance of 3-4 miles.

I drive a Honda Civic on weekends
I also recycle my newspapers, wash my laundry on cold settings and turn off the lights in unused rooms at my office.

Just like your unsubstantiated post from a few days ago claiming that greenies are doing nothing about proposed cuts in transit service, this statement is uncivil and inappropriate for this forum. It also contributes nothing to the understanding of broad and complex issues involving energy, the environment and transportation.
Wise up, pal.
