One afternoon in 2008, my friend and I went to see Al Gore’s movie An Inconvenient Truth. It moved me so deeply that the following evening, I went car shopping at a Toyota dealership for a Prius. I am embarrassed to admit that I had been driving a gas- guzzling SUV. The sales people tried to change my mind because at that time in Southern California where I lived Prius had to be pre-ordered and they didn’t have any, but the movie had changed me at depth. And I persevered! Finally at 9:30 pm, they found one that someone had backed out of the deal. I bought it that night. I was perfectly content with it for eight years and although it was still running perfectly, I purchased a new Prius hybrid. Last summer when I decided to move from California to Alberta Canada, A friend accompanied me to make the trip. She was greatly surprised at how little gas it took. Now here in Calgary, I am an anomaly. Most people dry bigger gas-dependent vehicles. It was also a very comfortable drive. And my conscience is clearer.
I rented a small house in California and my landlady put solar panels on the house. Now I am retired, living with my sister, a new car is not in my budget.
