We’ve all heard that cars are responsible for the melting ice caps as a result of global warming. In fact, it seems very reasonable to suggest that, as cars emit a lot of greenhouse gases as they use up the petrol, they are the sole cause of the crisis. However, what is often overlooked is the fact that it is the energy companies that are using up the most fossil fuels and are contributing the most to the crisis. It’s a bit like recycling; you feel good doing it, thinking that you aren’t adding to the landfill problem that is ever growing in our increasingly consumerist society. But the reality is that your small contribution means very little in the big scheme of things; at the end of the day the large corporations are the only ones who can make a massive amount of difference yet it is them who seem to be doing the least; this makes all the effort that you put in seem pretty menial and pointless. And in any case, it is a crazy idea to think that you can manage without a car; it’s become an essential item of transport that has far surpassed the buses and trains.

Because of this, you have to hire a car. It makes things so much easier and allows you to go wherever you want, whenever you want with a minimum of hassle. Forget the small amount of gas that you are putting into the atmosphere, your comfort is certainly worth it.
