Caring About a Green Earth
Like most folks these days I am trying to go a darker shade of green, not only to make my stay on this planet a little brighter but also to instill good values in my three children. One of the most difficult areas of my life to go green is my car. I love old, big, gas guzzlers and I cringe when I see those little smart cars cruising through the neighborhood. But the pressure is building and my wife and kids won’t let-up, calling me earth-killer and pollution-Paul and other not so nice names….
I finally decided to take a stand and point out to them how positive my contributions to a greener earth are because I only use used auto parts and when I get rid of any of my old junk cars I always do it by using a local authorized treatment facility. I typically drop them off directly to the junk car yard and have them evacuate the fluids, take out the mercury switches and do there eco-friendly thing. So if you see me don’t call me names because I really do care about the environment but I just show it in different ways.
