Going Green On Prom Night

Yesterday, The San Jose Mercury News published an article on this subject. While I agree with much of what the author has to say about using organic materials and recycling, I found her comments way off base about the use limousines.

She suggests that prom goers ditch the limo, and simply carpool. Only one problem - by their very nature, limousines are car pools! In fact, by riding in a larger vehicle such as a Hummer which holds 14, or a Party Bus which can hold 20+, prom goers are probably actually reducing the number of cars on the road, and therefore reducing Green House Gas Emissions. Not to mention, they are probably safer with a professional driver!

Couple these facts with a company such as Luxury Limousines or those that are members of the Green Ride Global Network which have taken steps to reduce their carbon emissions, and it seems logical that a limousine is in fact a way of going green on prom night!
