Eco Friendly Vehicles

ECO FRIENDLY VEHICLES There are problems with eco-friendly - among others It is friendly for us but not for our brothers. A rich man often secretly stands on a beggar - Gasohol is often mixed from gasoline and cane sugar: Great for conserving oil but oh-oh the strain On forests of Brazil, cleared to grow sugar cane. Solar panels on car-roof soak up sun : no pollution – nothing finer But the panels are made in smoke-belching factories in China. Long-life rechargeable batteries for a non-sunny day? You guessed it, made in sweat-shops in Bangladesh by children who don’t play, (To keep the cost low and affordable for us) Why not sell the eco-car and take the eco-bus? I guess the only really eco-friendly vehicles might be Wooden wheelbarrows made from trees which died naturally; Horse-drawn carts, with fertilizer-producing horsepower; Hot-air balloons with sun-heat (as long as there’s no shower); And olden-days sailing ships, although England’s forests green Disappeared to make sure that the olden seas were pristine. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
