bumper sticker idea about energy

you fellow 4.0 4x4 folks can feel free to chip in.

i'm mr. energy conservation and recycling about eveything (except my truck). i was going to cutom make a humorous bumper-sticker that says something about:

"it's ok, i use compact flourescents"

"i can drive this because i use compact flourescents"

"I save the world through lightbulbs, not cars"

got any ideas? i want to get the point across that i care about the environment, but like every other american, not enough to give up my truck

How about, "Waiting for something better than a hybrid"? Or "Some of us have work to do" Maybe, "Thanks for driving a compact, I'll burn your share" Eh, just get an FTE window decal and forget the cheesy bumper sticker altogether!

I like this one.

"I can drive for a year on the amount of fuel it takes to get Air Force One off the ground once."

If uncle Al and Babs can trade off energy sources and still call themselfs green, we should be golden with a ranger and a few flouresents. We need air force 1, we don't need Babs or Al. Hollywood is so fake, they holler about energy conservation as they pull up to the event in thier strech limo's. I could light my home for a year for what it takes uncle Al to light his for a month. Hollyweird's all for conserving energy as long as it's the other guy doing the conserving.

Hollywierd is wierd by definition. They scream energy conservation, and yet they drive around in Hummers, or Excursions, on the days they are not being driven to events in limos.

love the t'****s. I'm gonna get one for my brother. He drives a 'Dodge'.

My favourite issue are the people who jump into their ride to go for a run to the store/bank etc. to save the lazy *sses from a 10 min. walk
