Greenpeace

so, i just read an article (ny times) about how our driving has gone down from april 2007 to april 2008, by 1.8%. now, the highest point is 3 trillion miles driven on a 12-month monthly total. 

if you're not confused - stick with me! i am doing a math eqation:

              3x .018 = 54,000,000,000 (54 billion), where x=trillion (3,000,000,000,000)

and now where are we? 2,946,000,000,000.

now, we have 3 compared with 2.946? what are we taught in grade school? round up! so... what does 2.946 round up to? 3!

lets just hope the slope continues because after all that, the decrease doesn't seem impressive enough.

but still-- go US!
