The good, green life
By Trystan L. Bass
Venerable online magazine Salon has often covered environmental issues, but recently, it started a weekly column about "living the good environmental life."
The first article by Rebecca Clarren in Portland, OR, takes on hybrid cars.
Are they just a pricey status symbol? Can you get equally high gas mileage from less-expensive vehicles? Clarren stows her bike in a Honda Fit and test-drives a Nissan Versa to make Prius drivers green with envy.
Will this column slay more sacred eco-cows? Who knows. Salon writers certainly don't shy away from thought-provoking controversy.
