- mox1 4y agoThese older vehicles emit roughly as much as current (gas powered) small gas engines (aka lawnmowers, leaf blowers, etc). So unless your household (or your maintenance crew) is 100% electrified, your part of the problem. https://www.pressherald.com/2022/03/31/our-sustainable-city-lawnmowers-emit-as-much-pollution-as-a-car/ https://www.pressherald.com/2022/03/31/our-sustainable-city-...
- lazide 4y agoWhat I love about the “movement” (just like in CAlifornian Politics!) is that everyone is terrible if they try to actually do anything useful, but everyone is great if they do random stuff that wastes time and effort without accomplishing it’s stated goals - as long as it seems futurist and green. It’s basically the now is unacceptable, and the future is impossible.
- justinator 4y agoPersonally no lawn, no lawnmower, no leaf blower. No car either, to be honest.

Being classics, you don't drive in winter with salt on the road. And you keep them on the road far longer than they were intended, no new car is a net positive.
- lmm 4y agoWell obviously the less you use a car the less environmental damage it does, but if you're not driving it half the year then it's probably not displacing a new car purchase.
- justinator 4y ago>no new car is a net positive. But you're saying you're required to own an addition car?
- hef19898 4y agoIn that case? Yes, because for it is used for I don't have an alternative. And new ones capable of doing the same thing used to be unaffordable.
