And if she wants an SUV that badly there are plenty of hybrid SUVs. But yeah: she has a lot of choices. I think that a lot of people don’t think about how bad gas cars are – they think of “good” cars (biodiesel, hydrogen fuel cell etc.) and “neutral” cars (gasoline).

And then hybrids are considered “good” even though they are still consuming and burning gasoline, because they… use less of it? For all we know, she drives this thing so little that it consumes less gas than a hybrid she drove every day.

Anyone who reads this blog is already in right place. I am happy she is setting the trend to have less plastic in our oceans, every little bit counts. Watch this video

I agree — but her other efforts are often overshadowed by those that love to point out the SUV ownership and then chalk her up as a hypocrite. I think the girl is bringing some incredible attention to some worthy causes and to have this be the one thing that makes people not ‘believe in her’ is silly. Plus, she’s known for a long time that she needs to get rid of it. Here’s a great scenario: Why not donate it to a orphanage or someone with a massive family in need (after all, this is just little Hayden in this thing) and grab a Prius or a new luxury diesel? Hell, why not buy used?

Perhaps keeping the SUV until it’s time to replace it is the way to go. Think of the production costs of a new vehicle, and how unlikely it is that her SUV will be recycled…In the large scheme of things, wouldn’t it be better for her to hold on to the SUV but only use it for things like the large grocery run – using public transport, a bike, her feet, for everything else?
