So true! It's almost as if any form of sustainable or green or low-carbon-footprint living is a sin to the conservative way of life.

That said, I have one family member who is a staunch Republican and quite conservative in his views, but he's kind of a Teddy Roosevelt Republican--conservative AND conservationist--and he has lately acquired a bike. Surprised the hell out of me the other day when we met up at an event in the neighborhood, and he had ridden there from all the way across town. Gave me hope!
