I thought the Popular Mechanics article was very good.

It seems like many people are going through those steps of change.

I can never remember how they go - denial, anger, a couple others.......acceptance.

Most of us here are actively working to see what we can do personally to save money, cause less pollution, and use less energy.

Many of the public is in denile, or simply angry about the situation, and feel powerless.

The main reason I built my cycle was just to feel that I was positively DOING SOMETHING to help.

It is unfortunate that many people don't see things like simply checking tire pressure as a positive!!!
