Your carbon footprint in Hawaii

[Durian Fiend]

Since we're talking about our carbon footprints...  Wouldn't it be great if we could just share a few trucks for each neighborhood?  Trucks are expensive, they use a lot of gas, most people really only need them once in a while.  I've been the "friend with the truck", I now have "friends with the truck", but it would be so cool to just go book a truck (like a rental) from the local community center or something.  Then the rest of the time we could all drive our efficient vehicles, save money, save the environment.

Yes but…miles driven via truck would be approximately equal in an ideal scenario of joint ownership versus private ownership, right? More vehicles registered means more highway funds. 
Of course that’s not the way it really works. There are a lot of people driving a truck as their primary or only vehicle, just like Texas.

In many European countries pickup trucks appear to be few and far between. I wonder why…
