(or at least I think so...)

When you drive around town in your gasoline powered car, you pollute the earth. When you pollute the earth, people start to die. When people start to die, the zombie apocalypse happens. DON’T let the zombie apocalypse happen - BUY an electric car!

Did you know that oil drillers and gas companies work together to stay in business by coaxing the government? It makes no sense. Its like everyone exploits the environment for money.

I think that people should try driving an electric car, but I see other people’s point of view too. First of all, electric cars don’t hum or make a regular “car noise” so when you’re driving late at night, it may be difficult stay awake. Electric cars may lower your gas bill, but they will increase your electric bill (the good news is that electricity is cheaper than gas!). There is also a car called a “hybrid” that utilizes both kinds of energy sources – gas and electricity. It uses far less gas then your regular car.

Have you noticed that over the years the price of gasoline has blown off the charts? Well my friends think it’s because there are more cars on the road. The gas and oil companies make more money if there are more cars on the road. Car companies are making cars more affordable to sell more...it’s like a losing battle.

I think that everybody should at least TRY or find a way to test drive an electric car. As humans, we owe it to the Earth to try and not use her natural resources (oil from the ground) against her. We MUST find an alternative way to use less gas in our vehicles! Use a bike to get around town or if you are not using an electric car (they tend to only come in two or four door models) because you have a big family, then at least get a hybrid - they come in SUV models
