Ok, do you want to hear something ridiculous? A group of people in California got together to sue six of the biggest car companies in the world! And why you ask? They tried to sue because the cars exhausted and excessive amount of greenhouse gases and generally polluted California. Yes, it is the cars that pollute…NO, NO, NO! I have a better idea, they should sue refiners because they are the real polluter, the cars just use their fuel…NO, NO, NO! They should sue oil companies for taking the petrol out of the ground…NO, NO, NO! Well, who should they sue? The United States government for not regulating toxic gases such as CO2 and ozone? No my friends, it is not the fault of corporations for the destruction of the environment with the toxic gas CO2 (wait, what do plants use to build cell structures and exhaust breathable oxygen?...oh, nevermind) The real culprits are the people of California and of the world. We drive the cars that we bought. The car companies, refiners, and oil companies exist to fulfill the needs of the consumer. They should sue themselves. It is ridiculous lawsuits against some of the best companies of the world that make me want to puke.
You want solutions to the environmental crisis we live in? Here’s a start: You: turn down your air conditioning (you use between 5 and 10 times as much electricity as you do gasoline) Your State: Educate the people and how to be conservative in all areas of life (everything you use from your water to the plastic Wal-Mart bags to your babies night light has an effect on the world) Your federal government: Put a small tax on every gallon of gasoline to fund trains and build more park and rides and replace city parking garages with truly beautiful parks (electric trains are the most efficient ways to travel) No the US is not structured like and other country, we have unique travel needs, but we need to make an effort to be smart when it comes to energy. Hybrids and other vehicles do not solve the massive problem we truly have. Change your life!

you go Ize! those are some good points. I think we should sue the advertising and marketing companies & deparments. They use advertising and clever marketing schemes to create a "need" in the average consumer's mind for new cars or bigger and better cars, or you have to own more than one car. And to glorify the "personal vehicle" as a status symbol.
Or we can sue the American consumer for overspending, overcharging, and being frivolous about the environment. that's it!
oh wait! it's China that's now contributing to more of the world's pollution faster than anywhere else. We should sue China for their lack of propriety.
Once China takes over the world, then we can sue them.
