Got the following bumper sticker from a panel beater I know. A few people have said I should remove it but I like it
When people start giving me jip about 4x4's ruining the environment and global warming and climate change, I start ranting on about how Land Rover are the greenest car manufacturer on the planet as they offset all CO2 used in production and running for 3 years  and that the cars are 100% recyclable I generally add in some other stuff about the fact that Land Rovers run forever so they are good for the environment. You can really confuse the greenies, if all that doesn't work I say:
Oh and I have 4 young kids and regularly have to tow trailers so find me another vehicle that can do all that with less CO2 and I'll change.
Sorry about the rant, just wanted to share my thoughts. The Double D's

It reminds me of that one "Are you an environmentalist or do you work for a living?"
It's good, it just depends if you think the locals would 'disapprove'. Though perhaps the kind of people who are prepared to vandalise someone else's car would do it to a 4x4 regardless of a sticker on the back or not  DISCO3's Student Correspondent...

Its  but I agree with ND it will upset some and lead to damage unless everyone locally has a GSOH too Over 7000 miles of trouble-free motoring......well almost .....(only two visits to dealer and 3 days without)

Dont get me wrong I like it  Just would not like to invite trouble

Very funny but, alas, you are likely to provoke the humourless, sanctimonious, puritan malcontents who make up an ever larger proportion of the population so you might prefer to remove it.

Agreed - a redesign incorporating the LR CO2 offset logo would do the trick. DISCO3 Goodies in the Shop: Stickers, Polo Shirts, Fleeces and More! | D3 Parts For Sale

Following hot on the heels of penis envy and handbag envy It was only a matter of time I suppose befor carbon-footprint envy took hold.
Put a CND sticker on the other side to balance it out.
