Even as the price of oil is dropping there hasn't been much relief at the pump. I took these photos on my ride to work this week.
One of the amazing things about all this is that top oil executives continue to receive ginormous bonuses even as most Americans are reorganizing their traveling habits to accomodate the rising cost to fill up!
Two British Petroleum executives have been put on notice of investigation because of receiving bonuses of L100,000 or US $162,400. The shareholders have a right to be disgusted and in an uproar!
So how can you fight back? Well, we know that these executives will probably continue to receive these bonuses but you can hurt them just a little if you follow a little advice that I read in the latest issue of Bicycling magazine.
If only 5% of the population would use an alternate form of transportation for the 2 mile radius from their home we would save 5.8 millions gallons of gas. Pish, posh my husband said, that's not even a drop in the bucket! Well, buck up folks! Can you imagine what
could happen if it was MORE then 5%?
5.8 gallons of gas @ $4.00 gallon=$23.2 millions of dollars
Surely that would cut someone's bonus money!
So gear up folks! Ride to work, walk to the store, skate for fun! Let's cut
someone's Ferrari fund!
