- excerpt -
"... a third option (from) the rules of mythology encourage... a balance between what responsibility is yours and what responsibility isn’t. So rather than give up purchasing gasoline, you might simply swear to never buy another gasoline engine. That way you start saving for an electric car, but you can still chip in driving around with friends which is the reality. However, there will always be another mythology which comes to mess up your nice conclusion. As it turns out eating beef is much worse for the environment than petrochemicals, as far as greenhouse gases (particularly methane) are concerned. So a vegetarian driving a hummer is better for the environment than a meat eater in a Prius. So we need to be willing to expect that our mythologies will be challenged because they certainly will."
