Summary/ Significance: People are finding a bright side of our very dark and unfortunate climate situation. Unfortunately, the bright side they found isn't going to help our environment. People in Texas are buying the SUVs and trucks that so many Americans are deserting for more fuel efficient cars. The low prices on the older models mean, lower car insurance rates, and smaller, if any, monthly payments. One man in Texas said he was snatching up the used cars as fast as he could so he could sell them in south America for double the price and they are in high demand there because of the lower gas prices.
I personally believe that it is important for our economy and our earth that people continue selling their big cars for smaller cars with better gas mileage. But I would rather see those older cars be recycled and reused then have car companies putting even more energy into making more cars that we shouldn't need. Is recycling bad in this situation? hmmmm..... ?
