I love the outdoors. I always have. I'm an amature bird watcher, in fact. We always clean up after ourselves after camping, trail riding...whatever. Our county is heavily into recycling. Although we do not have garbage pickup in the county, we do seperate everything and put it in it's corresponding dumpster at the recycling center. I still have a "My Carbon Footprint Is Bigger Than Yours" T shirt though. LOL

Sigh
I voted no because I believe the statement contain a logical error as well as drastic oversimplifications. Not trying to be insulting at all, I just don't think there is a real strong correlation between leaving my JK stock and saving the what's left of the green parts of America. As others have mentioned, changing out your incandescent light bulbs would do more good. I'm always open to ways to save energy and not pollute personally though, however the answer is not the crap legislation we frequently see pandering to certain groups (typically far left).
It's real simple...this poll I started in response to a member stating that JK owners were very concerned about gas mileage/consumption...my POV is that if there is such a concern by the majority of JK owners, then none would add a half a ton or more of accessories to their Jeeps knowing full well that gas mileage would suffer...from what I see so far, this statement by a forum member is false...

The amount of emissions from ALL of our modded JKs combined isn't even a drop in the bucket compared to the emissions from the planes that the "environmentalists" use to fly themselves to their conferences.

I see what you are saying. I think people just like to complain.

I do have lingering guilt for driving such an inefficient vehicle so now that the weather has cooperated I am commuting to work by bike twice a week, not to save the planet but to get rid of the guilt.
