Guilty for using gasoline?

Question

This week I'll be traveling to Disneyworld from Miami. However, for some reason, we'll be driving for probably for about 5 hours and I feel really guilty that we'll be using a lot of gasoline.

I mean I could always cancel the trip, but that would be unexpected and brash.

What can I do to relieve my feelings?

Save more gas in the future? Replant a tree?

I do like to be eco-friendly sometimes.

Thanks for understanding. SW

Answer 1

Don't feel guilty. The only blame should go to the politians who refuse to allow the United States to be energy self sufficient.

Answer 2

dont cancel the trip. you are saying you dont like the pollution? i dunno if you would ever be interested in buying an eco friendly car that gets like 60 miles per gallon. you can tell yourself you will get a car like that in the future. or you can just carpool? or carpool more often in the future

Answer 3

Change your light bulbs to CFLs.

Then go to friggin Disneyworld.

Get an alternative fuel vehicle when you can (I know some electric guys in FL).

Answer 4

well if you're already an eco-freindly perosn and try hard not to pollute then you've helped a bit so far. Realizing and feeling guilty wont help. Does this mean you never want to go on a vacation because it'll pollute?

If you're going on the vacation by yourself it's up to you. But if you're going with someone else, then the gas will already be used so you might as well go. ;D
