QUOTED: "Although I have never spoken to the owner of (the Prius with the) ECO BRAT (license plate), nor has anyone else on the block whom I know of, we do talk about him. We fear his opinions. We all do our green best around here, but all of us suspect this is not close to sufficient for ECO BRAT. And with Earth Day approaching, our anxiety is intensifying."
