Some loon from Vancouver says:
These individuals need a better appreciation of how selfish, anti-social, unhealthy, and destructive this seemingly benign decision actually is. As with smoking in the late 20th century, our society’s challenge for the early 21st century is to address the cancerous act of driving, and stigmatize it into obscurity.

We dont pay attention to canadia. How many naysayers are againsr nasa? And look at all the neat stuff we have because of it.
Therefore, we need a massive public education campaign to remind folks how dangerous, expensive, and inefficient cars really are. In doing so, we might finally break the cycle of car addiction, and we’ll all be a little healthier, wealthier and happier for it.
These people make the rest of us (i.e. people who care about the environment) look bad.

When Canada erases the destructive, social blight of Bieber and Dionne we can talk.
Treehugger.com?! What did you expect?
These sound like the dopes that were setting Hummer dealers on fire a few years ago.
I hate to tell them this, but we are not going back to riding only bicycles and horses anytime soon. You're not going to get people to stop driving, that's just never going to happen.
Unless we run out of every fuel imaginable, but I imagine there will be solar powered cars by then.

Hey! I was there because 11110000 recommended an avocado recipe!
For the record, I think of myself as an environmentalist, and consider my datsun build to be a big recycling project.

As with most things, I just ignore opinions that are wayyy right or wayy left. too extreme in a world that is not black and white.
In reply to JoeyM:
Those people aren't environmentalists, they're idiots.
With the signal to noise ratio in the environmental movement, it can be hard to tell the difference sometimes.
