-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Ed: Old ... but still relevant ... -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- "Car-Out" Days!!!! Not Gas Out Days! The Sierra Youth Coalition is announcing International "Car-Out" Days!!!! Across North America there have been calls for lower gas prices (Gas-Out Days) so that people can drive their SUV's and other personal vehicles, spewing greenhouse gases, air pollution, and smoke into our faces, and beyond, as cheaply and conveniently as possible. SYC is sending out a different message. Gas prices are actually way too low!!! Let's get out of our cars, and get on our feet, bikes, buses, and trains. It's time to end our dependency on gas (and other forms of non-renewable energy sources). For a sustainable and positive future we all have to do our part and start using, and demanding the use of, public and non-polluting forms of transportation and renewable energy sources. Join SYC and others across the country as we protest car dependency and call for people to get out of their cars and bike, bus, walk, skateboard, cross-country ski, or skip. Spread the word: Gas prices should reflect the true ecological costs of petroleum!!!!" (and therefore should continue to go up!) Send letters to the editor, call the media, and let everyone know, "it's Car-Out days, not Gas-Out Days" and let them know why. Advocate for public transportation, car co-ops, smart development (no more sprawl!), and alternative sources of energy. -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- The preceding message was posted on Sustainable Maritimes (sust-mar) -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- DOES SUST-MAR KNOW?
