All I see is green!

Thanks to Al Gore, the country has gone hay wire that the world is about to end. In a world in which going green is the fad, more and more people are becoming self conscience of how they live. The two articles I read do not necessarily have to do with each other, but they both talk about trying to save fuels.

My first article is from the National Review Online and is called "Biofueling Disorder". Of course this article being serious and all is very objective. China this China that, it goes on and on. However, this article points out that thanks to China, which suddenly decided to start using massive amounts of energy and the increase of production of biofuels the price of food is going to rise substantially. Apparently the world’s supply of wheat and grain are thinning out. Thus, countries that have to import grains are literally screwed. There is hope and that's where biotechnology comes in to help productivity and many other things. Economically speaking and this is my point of view, we might be lowering the cost of fuel to consume but we are additionally raising the cost of food. And everyone knows that when people get hungry and don't have to eat anything, then the government better watch out. As a result, as of now it's not a good solution to increase the production of biofuels. I propose that scientists keep on doing research to find more efficient biofuels so the world grain supply will not be strained.

My next article is a blog called “Filling Up for Less” in which someone has written steps for people to make their car and gasoline more efficient. I think it is a universal truth that women are real bad with cars and never check anything until the engine light comes on. That’s at least with what I saw at my high school and my mom and sister. There are many easy steps such as maintaining your car’s air filter and oil. Additionally, don’t carry extra weight in your car and don’t drive like you’re in the Fast and the Furious. It’s okay to roll your window down also. All these small notes are so minor that we forget them, when in fact they may help our car gain five to fifteen miles more to the gallon. It’s a shame that people think we need to find the next cure for cancer in order to save our world form our own destruction. Take Gore’s advice and be conscious of you live your life.
