Prius, shmius.... a recent report takes into account the manufacture and disposal of a car after a 10 year life. The Sandle wearers favourite is worse for the environment than nearly all the 4x4's out there.
The additonal engine and chemicals used to create the battery make it an environmental loser!
As for what you can do...enjoy your remaining freedoms while we still have them. :x

So are we saying that the Toyota Prius is the new world Citreon 2CV?
Great on paper but its turns out to be a stinker in the end?
I think i'll stick with my 30mpg Disco for now then

Yeah, I read about that too, it was called a 'dust to dust survey' and takes everything into account, like servicing, supply of raw materials, supply of energy (electricity doesn't fall like rain even if the tree hugers would have us believe it does) and recylcling. The prius is about the worst, as something over $6 per mile whereas a V8 Disco 3 comes in at $4 odd IIRC.
Where does that put a series 3? on balance hardly any have even been recycled and when they do there is no nasty plastic to dispose of. Restoration is the most eco frreindly way to recycle but try telling the tree huggers.

Does anyone remember a chap on the telly a while back, who setup a republic in his flat in london. A good way of sticking two fingers up to the would be oppressors. You'll still be able to smack your kids too.
