My quote and I’m sticking to it;
“I can do much more for the environment healthy and alive then I can from driving a Prius.”
Smack in the middle of my vision board is a Prius. I have wanted to own and drive a Prius for quite some time. Being especially conscious of the environment, I am always looking for ways to do my part. Faced with the reality that we had three cars and four drivers, it was time for me to buy a new car. Without doing any research, I went right to the Toyota dealer and put a deposit down on a brand new Prius. I am the research “Queen,” but since cars are not my thing, I didn’t put any effort into researching it. When I got home I excitedly put an announcement on facebook that I purchased a new Prius, whereupon I was privately messaged by a friend of mine saying;”Christine, did you look up Prius and EMFs?” I cancelled my order the next day…

In 2007 there was an extensive report written by international scientists and public policy experts that cited over 2,000 studies that detailed the toxic effects of EMFs. Chronic exposure to even low levels of EMFs can cause illness, the report stated. What I discovered when researching EMFs and Prius is that high readings appear to be at the foot of the driver and the right rear passenger seat. Because of this, people are complaining of headaches, nausea and dizziness. Long term exposure to high levels of this kind of energy is yet to be determined. Here is an article written about someone’s experience driving a brand new Prius: http://evworld.com/news.cfm?newsid=23553
I know we cannot live in a bubble. Technology has enabled us to evolve and grow with an ease that never before existed in previous generations. However, just because something makes our life convenient, or in this case, environmentally friendly doesn’t mean it is safe. I like to err on the side of caution. It’s just not worth it to me to take a chance on something that could potentially cause harm to myself or others. Like I said above, “I can do much more for the environment healthy and alive then I can from driving a Prius.”
