Go Green!
Go Green!The United States imports six times more foreign energy today than during President Jimmy Carter's administration. If you want to reduce America's dependence on foreign energy, go green. There are more than 6,000 products that we use everyday that are made from crude oil or natural gas.
There are many products derived from crude oil and natural gas that we use everyday including gasoline, diesel,jet fuel,cooking gas, home heating oil, paint, lipstick, shoes, asphalt, shampoo, plastics, and even aspirin. See link for more information.
Gasahol blend of mostly gasoline with a little ethanol is better than pure gasoline, E85 is better than that with 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. Biodiesel is much better than diesel. Are you using biofuels yet? When biodiesel becomes readily available, then maybe we have an alternative to home heating fuel. What are the plans for biofuel in your state? Have you contacted your federal, state, and local representatives? Let them know you want all government vehicles green as soon as possible.
My town, county, state, and the federal governments, private businesses, and the public are paving asphalt like crazy every year. Pavers, poured concrete, shredded tires, and many other products may be suitable substitutes. Between driveways, parking lots, and roads your small town may have the equivalent of a huge tanker load of foreign crude oil used to make the asphalt. Some of our cities may have used the equivalent of fleets of hundreds of foreign oil tankers for the asphalt they use.
Put pavers down on your driveway instead of asphalt. Look into other alternatives like shredded recycled tires and poured concrete. Contact your government representatives and tell them to use alternatives to asphalt. Maybe we can put the asphalt business out of business.
Use alternatives to plastic if possible. Recycle your plastic.
Check out the ingredients of the products you use and become more wary about what may be derived from crude oil or natural gas.
Don't be timid. We could have had a million quality clean air electric plug powered cars led by the General Motors Saturn Division EV1 vehicle on the road right now if
the American public fought for it. It was sabotaged by big oil, General Motors, and President Bush.
If President Bush and Congress will not lead us out of the energy crises it is time the American public took it into their hands.
