I try to do the right things. I turn off the lights behind me. I have newer vehicles working properly. My house AC/heat are programmed into the thermostat to go on and off at the proper times at a good temp. I don't leave the hose on when I wash the car. Efficient sinks, toilet etc. Have installed new windows and insolated the house in the last couple years......... But......... Then there come my boat. Dump lots of gas, oil into it, burn it up, go home, do it again next weekend. I don't care what type of motor (even trolling motors have to charge the batteries, more energy) and boat you have. Short of being a waterman by trade you are just wasting energy. I have come to terms that I cant say I do everything I can for the environment. Kind of sucks but I don't think I am going to give up my boat . Then there is the whole oil thing. Being dependent on the middle east etc. Should I feel bad? What do you all think?
