My kids sit comfortably in the Saturn Vue Green Line. Surprisingly, the backseat has quite a bit of legroom for my teenager, even when he is sitting between two booster seats. The only concern from the gallery of eco-freaks in the back (did I just say that out loud?) is the fact that the seat belts are difficult to buckle one-handed.
I guess I’ll stick with my own small heroic gestures. Like actually moving all the chairs out of the way when I vacuum under the table or completely sorting all the laundry before I wash it. I’ll make do with waving at people when they let me in while driving in traffic, and I’ll use my blinker every time. I am more and more convinced every day that I should make the next car I buy a hybrid.
Shrinking forests, global warming, melting ice caps, polluted oceans…yikes! Pregnant mommies can’t even eat fish in good conscience anymore, and coupled with all the other “don’t eat items,” why not just hand moms-to-be, a bucket of pills in lieu of food altogether.
To Do: Finish dishes, fold laundry, fuel car, grocery shop, bank deposit, ballet recital, fuel car again, play group; deposit more money so I can FUEL THE CAR AGAIN! Listen up fellow moms, I’ve found a revolutionary way to cut down on our “To Do” lists while helping us manage our budgeted fuel costs. Check out the 2006 Lexus RX 400h (“h” for hybrid).
Our family’s new year’s resolution for 2005 is to become more Earth conscious. For us, that means starting to recycle. I think that driving the Escape Hybrid for two weeks officially pardons me from those occasional yogurt cups I’ve “mistakenly” thrown in the garbage since January 1.
