We may see a rise in obesity in environmentalists.
According to an article published in today's Denver Post, the Sunflower Farmers Market location in Denver has six new VIP parking spots for customers driving hybrid cars.
These new parking spots are of aimed at promoting hybrid cars. But, I would like to ask Sunflower Market, what about all of us who can't afford to buy our dream, cherry-red Prius?
I can't wait until VIP spots show up at Fort Collins Sunflower Market. Each time I go to Sunflower I can be reminded as I walk by the VIP section that I'm not part of this elite social group. Not by choice, but because I'm a college student and I have no money for such luxuries. Oh how I'd love to have a car that doesn't guzzle gas.
I doubt this VIP parking spot craze will encourage shoppers to buy hybrids. I can imagine it; a lady walking to her car thinking, "If only I had a hybrid I wouldn't have to walk that 20 extra feet."
I commend Sunflower for supporting hybrids. Keep on supporting hybrids. But don't privelge them.
Also, I contend that bike racks will always be superior to hyrid-only parking...a closer spot and no obesity threat.

Don't think the prius comes in cherry red. Wouldn't your Prius be a shade of green anyway?
Oh, but it does come in cherry red! The rest of my life is shades of green, my dream Prius...red.
