I think we have all been guilty when it comes to polluting the environment. I consider myself an environmentalist, yet I just sprayed a 2 part epoxy primer in my driveway. I'm guilty! A small fact keeps coming to mind.
70-80% of a vehicles lifetime pollution is spewed out during its original manufacturing. Mining, processing, smelting, etc. Yes, even the Toyota Prius is a major polluter, and it doesn't stand a chance of lasting as long as our stovebolts! So consider ourselves recyclers. Yet we should try to be as conscientious as possible when it comes to the environment, we all have kids and grandkids to think of...
