A campaign has started on facebook to declare March 31st an official "No Gas Day." That doesn't mean fill up your car on the 30th, that means that on the 31st we need as many people to ditch their cars, take the bus, carpool, or find some other way to work as humanly possible.
As someone on the message board for this event said, "Too bad it's not 'No Gas Week.' That would really get the attention of the oil companies.
Ironically enough, I learned about this through a very conservative friend of mine. I believe we need to promote consumer self empowerment as much as environmental regulations and the removal of oil company subsidies. If we fight this battle on two fronts, we can win it much better than if we ignore one front entirely.
So let's all do it. Let's at least make them as nervous as possible that they could lose their grip on the world. Join us on facebook and help the world change.
