GREEN GRAFFITI: One less 4WD
I hate being bullied from drivers when walking to school or anywhere else in the city of Grand Rapids. I am saving fuel for these drivers by not driving. I should be worshiped with praise! My feelings are stronger when SUVs are involved. AS IF!
Additionally, I am reducing emissions or my carbon footprint by walking or riding my bike. I am essentially fighting the war on global warming one step at a time, saving these morons from sea level rise (well maybe not in Michigan), and rising gas prices by cutting consumption.
All I want is the right-of-way when crossing the street and not to be hurried along. Why is everyone in such a hurry? Everyone is in a rush but realistically there is nowhere to go. It is sad. I agree with SOLIDSTATE_ on Flickr:
Please understand: If you drive a 4WD and get pissy at the anti-yourcar sentiments, remember this: I have to huff your fumes. I’m a good guy: pedestrians are the good guy. We’re the salt of the earth, and we, for something as inoffensive and useful as walking, we get a lungful of Kuwait’s finest. And because of that, because I have to effectively second-hand smoke your car’s asshole, you know…zip it.

GREEN GRAFFITI: "Nanotech scares me" – Earth
Nanowaste is scary but runaway replicators and the grey goo theory are even scarier. However, competition with Nature’s organisms and predation in addition to entropy might prevent future runaway replicators from taking hold.
