Thankfully, we live in a society that generally does believe that the earth is spinning, and also around the sun, despite religious groups disputing the topic.

Civilization has proven so many things, both negative and positive, but overwhelmingly or under-whelmingly, we have survived both.

Flash forward to modern America, of course there are political, economic, and social differences that compose the modern United States.

Here is the difference that brings everyone together: Climate Change.

I am not going to argue the point. There is enough research available to prove the point that if you want to argue this basic truth, you haven’t read enough, or you are reading something that is either a heavily funded by a lobby group, or a settlement as a result of an energy company and a victim.

I want to change my posts from complaining about what people aren’t doing and can do, to what they are doing and they can do.

I started this over a year ago somewhat passively, by buying a 2012 Prius C.

(Insert your joke here)

I’m never going to tell you that I’m better than you for buying a Prius C. To be honest, it’s work, but work I’m willing to do. It is also work, that a fiscal conservative would praise.

The amount of money that I save between my 2003 Camry and the 2012 Prius provides all you need to know: I not only save the planet, I save almost twice the money per trip to the station!

Short trips, I can go all electric, and after a fill-up of the meager 9 gallon tank, I can still reach 340 miles. I’m trying to figure out what I would want to ever do that wouldn’t be within 340 miles…

Selfishly, this doesn’t count in the US, because we have 2 coasts with amazing destinations that I would only have to stop a few more times for.

I guess the point is, if you care about the country and the world, the 2012 Prius C is for you!
