One of the sins:
5. Sin of Lesser of Two Evils, committed by claims that may be true within the product category,
but that risk distracting the consumer from the greater environmental impacts of the category
as a whole. Organic cigarettes are an example of this category, as are fuel-efficient
sport-utility vehicles.

Well, a fuel efficient SUV is not a good example when you have a ton of kids, I really wish I had a vehicle with a third row of seats after my most recent road trip with my three kids, one of whom occasionally smacks his sisters (though sometimes the youngest asks for it, he really can't control his strength). So if I had more income a fuel efficient SUV would be good for me, as it's better than buying a not fuel efficient SUV. Now if you're talking about someone that doesn't carpool and doesn't have a lot of kids, then ya, they really should go for a fuel efficient car, but really this whole SUV is evil thing kinda ticks me off. because families with 3 or more kids, well their options are SUV or Van (or they squeeze their kids in a car, like I do because my credit is crappy) and even though Van's don't have the stigma SUVs do they aren't really more fuel efficient either...

Of course if I wanted to be truly environmentally friendly I would have cohabited without having sex and not had 3 children. um, ya, sure, that's it....
