Winter months and more running of car engines

Walking for exercise up hills and around the neighborhood lake always brings a sadness to me during winter months and in the heat of summer. Why people drive to a place to stare out of car windows is beyond me. The sadness is the ignorance tied to running engines and contamination of air for no reason. One man I approached about thought that because he had bought a hybrid, it was OK to run the engine while his wife walked the dog. Does she not drive or can not drive so in delivering her to walk the dog it is ok for him to sit in the car, engine running to read the paper in the same comfort of home, heating or AC. While the lake is a small man made lake even a fast walker it takes 7 to 10 minutes times that by 7 days, times 365 and that is a lot of waste gas and more pollution in the environment.

Blinders are not good. We see blinders everywhere. Grocery stores, Costco, Sams Club, Home Depot everywhere people stand gawking at products with big carts blocking the aisle...I walked into Publix today and three managers were blocking the main aisle when customers first walk into the store. Blinders...Americans are so good at blinders, wasting resources, wasting money, wasting the environment, not their problem, oh yea, think about not having clean air for your great grandchildren to breath.
