Seems that many people pay lip service to the idea of being less

It's the same as congestion etc - everything would be ok if everyone
ELSE gave up driving. Like the school run - 'I have to take the kids
in an SUV because of all the dangerous cars on the road'.
People are addicted and in denial, that's all I can say.

I had just such a discussion with a woman in London on one occasion.

She agreed that the traffic was bad and that most probably everyone else
would agree. But when I said that if one was to suggest to those complaining
that they should give up using their cars she gave me a very strange look,
although I think the penny began to drop.
