Microactivism - why the image matters

Greenslowmovingvehicle is nothing more and nothing less than a decentralized conservation awareness group identified by magnets and stickers.  This tight visual medium can be perceived and "unpackaged" into a comprehensive political, environmental, social, and economic message - all while changing lanes or waiting for a green light.

As a emblem-using driver, I thought you might be interested in the referenced post above. Gliffy created a diagram to help people understand the cost savings involved with driving slower. Also notice the recent CCN Money and SF Gate articles,
Thanks for the publicity you bring to the issue,

I'm a right-laner most of the time. The Fuel Consumption Display on my Honda Insight reminds me not to step on it.

I bought ten of your emblems at the Wisconsin MREA Energy Fair and friends here in Seattle snapped them up. Now I'm ordering 50 more, maybe we can get all of Seattle to SLOW DOWN!
Thanks for this!

The DRIVE EASY sticker that I mounted to the left side of my minivan's rear window has really captured some people's attention...

I also noticed that I now enjoy driving so much more... I'm completely relaxed and the hurry factor is gone! I feel an increase in the safety factor when I'm more focused on the road and less on passing everybody... nice.

I'll happily share your website with all of my international contacts... I'm sure average everyday people all around the globe will be interested in your information. When I get some possible translations, I'll send you the proofs - you can make some symbols in other languages :)

(I'm starting to sound like a "Yes we can!" guy from out of country... )

Placed a sticker on my Aveo after a nice conversation with Jay this morning. Been looking for one for a couple years finally realized he was only a town away and called him up! Its our responsibility as emblem bearers to do just what it says DRIVE EASY...
