carbon foot print cars

I'm very into cars so far I have owned 3 cars in my life.  A mustang gt which drank gas, a subaru impreza 2.5rs and now I drive an Acura RSX Type S.  The Acura is decent on gas even though its a sports car, I have a six speed manual and can get up to 31 on the highway.  I still go through 12.5 gallons of premium a week,  I also change my oil religiously at 3000 miles.  I believe I will go through cars rather quickly (I get bored and trade up) and will probably buy a car every 4 years minimum for the next 60 years.  Now here's how everything adds up, I will go through a minimum of 36,000 gallons of gas in my lifetime as well as 120 quarts of full synthetic oil (which I recycle). I will probably buy at least 15 more cars for myself at a minimum. 

Story of stuff

This week we watched a documentary on the plight of the current consumer.  The documentary was called the story of stuff and pointed out the flaws in the current product life cycle.  Every part of the chain was flawed from production to disposal.   The main problem in lies in the cheap toxic manufacturing processes, exploitation of developing countries and planned obsolescence in product design.  After working in a retail shoe store for years I know full well that planned obsolescence exists in consumer products, why do you think your 90 dollar running shoes never last more than a year.  The documentary was interesting and presented a very real problem in our global economy.
