Help make a difference and Save the SUVs
PenOpticon
PSA - With rapidly depleting oil reserves and higher prices at the pump,
it is easy to forget the plight of some of our most vulnerable citizens: SUV
drivers. Day after day, these unfortunate souls are forced to cruise for cheap
fuel, often filling their tanks two or three times a day. And what choice do
they have? Cocooned in their heated, 8-way adjustable seats and insulated
from the world behind dark tinted glass, today's SUV drivers simply can't
cope with crushing crowds of pedestrians and cyclists wheezing their way
through smog-laden air. And buses? A six-block trip on a sweaty, packed
inner city bus would kill an SUV driver. Dead.
But YOU can save that driver.
Now, for just pennies a day, you can sponsor the exploration and recovery of
light sweet crude from an untapped Texas oil field. Your $300 donation,
combined with matching state and federal subsidies and Interstate tolls will ensure that your adopted SUV driver gets the
fuel he or she needs to stay on the road for an entire year. Just as
an elephant needs more more food than a cute little kitten, SUVs need much
more fuel than a small car. To keep just one SUV on the road for a
year, requires all of that small car's fuel plus the amount of
energy it would take to leave a refrigerator running with the door open for
six years. Or put another way: the amount of fuel needed to keep an
SUV running for one year is equivalent to the energy needed to pump
fresh water into an African village for ten years.
Did you know that millions of families have at least two SUV's parked in the
driveway? Your special $600 family donation will ensure that Dad gets the
kids to practice while Mom does the shopping. Or vice versa. Whatever.
The point is: please make a
difference and give what ever you can. At this very moment,
thousands of SUV owners are desperately filling up, knowing that
this could be their last full tank. Your generous gift will keep
the oil flowing and ensure the survival of these majestic multi-ton
behemoths and their owners.
