As gas prices continue to drop across the United States, citizens interest and car purchases have been focused back to the gas guzzling sport utility vehicles. As global climate change and global warming become more and more prevalent in today’s society, you would think the opposite effect would come forth: more sustainable decisions. However, as gas prices continue to fall, Fiat Chrysler, who produces Jeep vehicles (known to be some of the highest gas guzzling vehicles), announced a 52% increase in sales.

What continues to shock me is how little the citizens of the world seem to care about the constantly deteriorating environment, and move away from sustainable decisions, in business and our personal lives. To me, not enough effort is being made to promote sustainable decisions and lifestyles. Sales of the most popular hybrid on the market, the Toyota Prius, dropped by 13.5%, as decreasing gas prices provide less incentive to go green. Our generation is in charge of creating an environment and world we can save for many more years to come, it just doesn’t seem like there is enough incentive for our businesses to do so. Maybe its time for tougher legislation on companies, as a major root in tarnishing global climate change.
