Some of us just cant pay enough to drive our vehi

Some of us just can't pay enough to drive our vehicles. My son Tommy majoring in marketing, constantly bombards us with ideas for start up businesses. Time has a tendency to harden our tenacity and while most of his concepts seem farfetched, I might be revisiting them after learning what some MBA students are peddling. I have to applaud the gumption of students at the Wharton School of Business for coming up with the TerraPass, a system where motorists pay a yearly fee to clear their conscience over the fact they drive gas guzzling vehicles. The students that developed the web based program reportedly now have drivers of compact cars sending them $39.95, while SUV owners fork over a whopping $79.95 for a year of "certification" plus a bumper sticker reading " Clean up after your Car." A portion of the TerraPass supposedly is earmarked to fund green fuel projects, but the amount has yet to be disclosed. Now if these students can get people to believe that paying money somehow clears their conscience about driving, I'll tell you what, I will be listening more closely to Tommy's next marketing pitch. I'm Susan Allen and this is Food Forethought. Source: ENN news .com march 24, 2005 Drivers Who Subscribe to TerraPass Help to Fund Renewable Sources of Energy by Akwell Parker.
