I more or less would like to see how many in a survey of sorts or pledges, people would be willing to stay at home come Saturday and Sunday mornings in order to conserve gas/fuel. Think about it first before you think this is dumb and niave. The squeaky oil won’t get the oil so to speak unless us as consumers band together to stop fuel prices from being jacked higher and higher as our European neighbors currently pay. Get your groceries and other things before Saturday and Sunday and sit at home and spend time with your family this weekend and maybe for a few weekends. Please make your comments available. Remember in the US in the 70′s (or go search and read about it if you are younger) about burning our bras and being free. This is one of those moments. I am sick and tired of paying for the fuel and I want others also to join me in staying home and letting our gas companies think twice before they pass on the $4.00/gallon gas and taxes onto us? Who is with me here???
Think about this ok. If we eliminate wasteful trips going out to not only the grocery store and those other trips on weekends that we have put off till the weekend we will make a dent in this cause. Imagine people not popping in to a McDonalds, drycleaners, haircuts, for at least one full weekend or more if we need to make a real issue here. I don’t want to hurt the revenue of those that depend on those wages, such as the hairdresser and the waitresses who depend on tip money to make more an hour than the US and their states pay per hour. I don’t intend to be cruel here at all. I am not brilliant here, but I see that if this could be done, you darn well may be sure someone’s heads is going to roll come Monday morning after a wide wake up call. I agree with ride sharing and public transportation to all those who can. We don’t have to refuel the day before, just eliminate the wants on weekends and not the needs?
