Hi Viatologists, As you continue your scientific studies of roadways, please take a moment to realise how your carbon footprint affects the environment! Carbon densifies the ozone layer and traps heat. Consider going above and beyond the scientific principles of viatology by additionally keeping YOUR studies green. With your help, you can help save the planet. For a list of recommended guidelines in "green" for viatology- based research, please refer to this article: http://tinyurl.com/92hv4h Of importance: (1) Don't take road trips purely for the sake of roads!!! Bundle it into a vacation and kill two birds w/one stone. (2) If viatologists wish to discuss their topic w/ one another, use alternative communication mediums like teleconferencing, telephone, or physically meeting together for more than a Saturday/Sunday gig that's several hundred kilometres away. If you're traveling that kind of distance for that short of a meet, your lack of a social life is deprecating to Earth and is a carbon pollutant. (3) If you must travel for the sake of viatology alone, consider a fuel-efficient car that gets more than 30 MPG or 7.75L/100km. (4) Carpool w/ other viatologists when all possible. To reiterate -- getting to your destination of roadside research produces carbon emission. It doesn't matter whether you travel by car, rail, or airplane. Do your part and determine what method suits the environment. The WWTL officially endorses a green advertising-partner called 'Trip Footprint', who uncoincidentally offers you the ability to compute your footprint based on your mode of transportation AND the number of people involved in your travel party: http://www.tripfootprint.com . Consider a visit today. Cheers, Carl Rogers "Environment first, transportology second" ******** Worldwide Transportation Library (WWTL): http://wwtl.info ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Complete coverage of international roads and railways. Since 2000, we have offered several photographs, videos and Virtual 360 captures -- to each viatologist & transportologist. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ********

=v= Carl Rogers has certainly presented an unexpected quirk
here, but I'm still not so sure it passes the Turing Test.

Carl, if I still cared about your ho-hum site, I would quit now because you're parroting the "green" movement, which is about hating human beings. Ask not how big your footprint is on the environment. Ask how much the environment demands of YOU -- and if it's too much, then smash it. Humans don't exist to protect the Earth. The Earth exists to sustain human beings. Comfortably.
