Environmentalism

Over the past few months, and even years, I've started to buy into some of logic of some of the crazy "doom scenarios" that those wacky enviro-nazis throw out there.

And so, because of that and other concerns (gas costs, parking costs, etc.) I only take the bus to school. I consider that my environmental contribution. Even when there's a car around, I take the bus to school. Last year, I took the car to school sometimes, but this year, I never do. Not only do I consider it a social duty to be environmentally conscious, I think its the duty of a Sikh as well. Maybe in another post, I'll relate my wacky adventures on public transit.. sitting alongside common people, like one time, I closed my eyes for a bit, was falling in and out of sleep and when I "woke up" I was sort of shocked to see everyone without their heads covered.... For a whole 5-10 seconds, I just looked around confused, wondering why everyone looked so weird.

Anyways... I don't think that the world will end in my life time due to environmental catastrophe, only the mentally insane do, but I do believe that there will be amazing energy crisises. My family owns two SUVS, I think that its irresponsible and I try not to drive them.
