Stop Me If You've Heard This One Before...
Environmental responsibility, or social statement... why are you buying a new car?

People Are Joiners, Not Thinkers
Why do people make environmental choices?
Because it's the smart thing to do, or simply because it's the cool thing to do?
Thirty six percent of Prius owners bought that particular car because of it's fuel saving ability. For them, it was a smart thing to do.
However, 57 percent of Prius owners bought that particular because "because it makes a statement". In other words... it was the cool thing to do. All the other environmentalists are doing it, so why shouldn't I?
Good question.
Instead of thinking, and making responsible choices, the sheep mentality of far too many people today just leads them to make whatever decision everyone else is making. Any idea pushed in their face must obviously be a good one, so they go ahead and jump right in too.
