Feeling guilty about driving like a maniac and spewing out tons of impurities from your MINI? Well, now that I'm no longer trapping those nasty hydrocarbons after removing the extra filter, I feel a bit guilty. So here's what I'm doing about it ...

For $40 per year, I can wipe the slate clean ... not to mention keep the air clean.

HAHAHHAHA YA RIGHT!

haha well i'm glad you've taken such a bold and grand step to keeping the environment safe for your children and your children's children! how many people do you think have actually signed up??

Hahaha who knows... all I know is I aint donating a penny till they start taxing SUVs with Gas Guzzler Tax or get rid of SUVs or restrict it to only proper use (*which will be hard*)... so best thing to do is apply GGT to SUVs and not just cars.

Hmm, think I need 12 passes the way I drive

Surely the easiest things would be to get you Septics to pay a proper price for your gas? That way the people who drive big gas guzzling suvs have to pay a fortune for the gas that goes in and so will buy smaller cars like MINIs.

I only rarely use my old Mustang due to the fuel prices in the UK.

That said my parent's live in the Middle-East and it is great fun driving around in their 6 litre engined American SUV ...

haha who cares!! i saw a thing once that showed the amount of pollution a typical person would give out driving (50yrs) in their lifetime is still less than one ship sailing from China, a flight from Australia or even one Formula one race

strange but all the figures were very similar!

NO WAY! I like my gas prices low... they need to just TAX TAX AND TAX SUVs! Period! If you have the need for one then pay it! Just like I'll have the need for a super saloon and I'll pay the $3700 GGT myself.

actually i agree, i think the bigger and more inefficient the car, the more it should be taxed. there is no actual NEED to have a car that uses that much petrol to get from A to B. who actually needs a 5litre monster for practical purposes? if it's for leisure, then i do think people should be prepared to pay for it

bit like this thread really

evey bit helps, but something interesting is to make sure that where you are offsetting your emissions is not one of the major producing countries, such as your home country be it the UK or the USA as your payment and contribution goes towards the Governments requirments, so then stops them from doing so much
