That’s messed up …but also kinda funny
Crazy that this had to even be made into a law to override local meddling.
If you want to buy a second smaller car that’s fine, but just don’t do it because you think it’ll help the environment, because it’ll actually have the opposite effect. Producing a car takes a huge amount of energy and creates a huge amount of carbon pollution and other waste. The amount of gas (and thus pollution) you’d save by using a new small car will never come close to making up for the pollution that was created in the production of that car.
The most environmentally helpful choice is for people to keep using their current car for as long as they can, no matter how much gas it guzzles or oil it leaks.
With that said, life is of course much more complicated than that, so it shouldn’t be the only factor you consider in deciding whether or not to buy a new car.
EDIT
To the couple of people who downvoted this, I’m not just making stuff up, this is information I heard from scientific sources. Here’s citations:

Xhamster is now requiring personal identification for EVERYONE in the whole US, not just in Arkansas. WTF?!
Apparently she wrote in her private diary stuff like “I am evil for doing this” and “I am a horrible person for doing these things”. IMO this points more towards a massive mental health disorder rather than someone purposely doing evil acts to achieve their own selfish desires. It sounds like she had very unwanted intrusive impulses and she was unable to stop herself from acting on them.
Don’t get me wrong, her being aware that her acts were wrong doesn’t give her a get out of jail pass. The awareness of her drives being wrong means the onus was on her to get help to prevent her from acting on those drives. But IMO it does make clear that there was no motive, it was likely caused by a compulsion mental illness. This is all IMO though.
The point is that if you destigmatize mental illness then she could’ve gotten help for herself AND as a result no babies would’ve been killed. Saying “she should’ve killed herself” at best will do nothing, and at worst will prevent other mentally ill people from getting help for themselves, AND thus will lead to more innocent people becoming their victims.
At a bare minimum you’re missing the point. The point is that what you’re saying is counterproductive to what you claim to want. Do you want to prevent similar incidents of mentally ill people hurting innocent people in the future? Then saying “she should’ve killed herself” has the opposite effect.
That’s why I purell the seat first. I also put a layer of tp on the water to prevent poseidon’s kiss.
