World Vision Australia makes some interesting points regarding the recent hike in petrol prices.

Excerpt:

Isn't that a good thing? Haven't we all known for years that we need to slow our consumption of petrol to reduce fuel emissions and environmental degradation?

Did you know you can travel up to 50km for around 50 cents using an electric bike? Or that the Honda Civic Hybrid runs on a combination of electricity and petrol, using only 5.3 litres per 100 km?

Considering I'm possibly going to get my driver's licence before the end of the year *fingers crossed*, a hybrid car sounds very tempting indeed...

The hybrid car sounds like a good idea in your situation where you are not replacing an existing vehicle.

Although I'm sure too sure about the Civic Hybrid - the Toyota Prius appears to be better at fuel economy with less compromises.

true, i guess it's easier to buy a hybrid car when you don't have to deal with replacing an existing car...

Will have to check out the Prius!

I've just found your web site through Blog Explosion and I intend to bookmark it.

Your thoughts about hybrids are good ones. My feeling is that we Christians should be concerned with taking good care of the Earth that God has given to us anyway. It's a stewardship issue.
