I have been an avid environmentalist for years, doing what I can to recycle, conserve energy and I created a backyard habitat for my wild neighbors. Each year I tried to do a little something more until there were no more "big" things left to do. That changed when Toyota created the Pruis Hybrid. I bought an '05 Pruis this fall and I love it! The technology that went into designing this car is so elegant and it is such a comfortable, smooth driving car; It is by far the nicest car I've ever owned. I'm sorry this is sounding like an ad for Toyota, but if everyone drove a hybrid think how much cleaner the world would be! I still take the bus to work, but in our town the bus doesn't run evenings or Sundays so I still need a car to get around. And I love the way heads turn as Darwin and I cruise by. Darwin's the car, named for Charles Darwin. If animals can evolve so can civilizations.
