(WARC via Tom Nelson) Consumers in emerging markets such as India and China are much more “green” than their counterparts in the US and Canada, a study has discovered.
National Geographic, the broadcaster, and GlobeScan, the research group, polled 17,000 people in 17 countries, and found that uptake of eco-friendly behaviour had increased in just five nations since 2010, and had decreased in nine.

What about “utter hypocrites”? Did that make the list?
Toyota expects their Prius to soon be their ntop selling model.
Doubtful. Only way that happens if the cancel Corolla and Camry. But, Prius sales are still going up as the costs go down. I like them, think they are a great car. I’d like to see more hybrids, especially more powerful ones.
Bet you didn’t expect that response!
