"The air inside new cars may contain some of the highest levels of vinyl chloride, which is used in the manufacture of automobile interiors. At room temperature, vinyl chloride releases dioxins in the air to produce that characteristic "new car" smell. Vinyl chloride, which is thought to be the most troubling kind of plastic from a health perspective, is also found in the discharge of exhaust gases from factories that manufacture or process vinyl chloride, or evaporation from areas where chemical wastes are stored." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "These are among the same toxins found in new cars, giving them that plasticky (and quintessential) "new car" smell. VOCs, which include chemicals such as acetate, ethanol, and formaldehyde, have been found to have toxic effects, even at low doses. Many are suspected carcinogens. These chemically unstable compounds vaporize (turn to gas) readily and may combine with other chemicals to create compounds that can cause toxic reactions when inhaled or absorbed through the skin." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"We spend more on fast food than on new cars, new computers, and higher education combined! In fact, our genes are preagricultural.We started farming only ten thousand years ago and started refining flour only about two hundred years ago with the discovery of the steam engine-powered flour mill. The food industry has "progressed" a great deal in the last hundred years. Our genes have not kept up with these technological innovations. Yet fifteen thousand low-fat foods (a.k.a." - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)

"Americans spend more money on fast food than on higher education, personal computers, computer software, or new cars. They spend more on fast food than on movies, books, magazines, newspapers, videos, and recorded music—combined," Eric Schlosser reveals in Fast Food Nation. What's more, in almost all cases, as noted earlier, all this dining out means people also are unknowingly putting into their bodies processed foods often pumped with hidden sugars. "People are consuming products that they wouldn't even dream have sugar in them," says food scientist Russ Bianchi." - Connie Bennett, C.H.H.C. with Stephen T.

"Wondo Genet is a bit of a shock after Yirgacheffe. new cars line the parking lot. Waterfalls and hot springs surround the 1950s-style bungalows. Well-dressed Ethiopian couples stroll about, looking lovingly into each other's eyes. At the desk, Tadesse requests the Emperor's Bungalow for his distinguished guest. The receptionist sizes me up slowly, shrugs in apparent approval, and hands me the key. Tadesse parades me to the bungalow, which stands slightly apart and on a small rise away from the other bungalows. Tadesse stops at the door, looking reverent." - Dean Cycon, Javatrekker: Dispatches From the World of Fair Trade Coffee (Get the book.)

"So you see, we have everything you have in America: a property bubble even bigger than yours, with interest-only housing loans, new cars everywhere, new buildings .. . everything." And soon, we suspect, they will have a property bust, too. That is when the liars default on their loans—and Goldman's bonus checks get smaller. CHAPTER 14 CENTRAL BANK BAMBOOZLE One may say that, apart from wars and revolutions, there is nothing in our modern civilizations which compares in importance to it [inflation]." - William Bonner, Lila Rajiva, Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets: Surviving the Public Spectacle in Finance and Politics (Agora Series) (Get the book.) "In the 1950s and 1960s they all earned high wages, drove new cars, and lived in nice houses with all the latest conveniences. But drive through those neighborhoods now! They are ghost towns, with empty houses, boarded-up shops, abandoned cars, and rusty factories. Workers here have been left behind by economic history, earning in real terms the same as or less than they did 30 years ago. In the midst of the biggest boom of all time, they have fallen behind. The boom is now in only a few places." - William Bonner, Lila Rajiva, Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets: Surviving the Public Spectacle in Finance and Politics (Agora Series) (Get the book.)

"More money is spent every year on fast food than higher education, new cars, and computers combined!

"For every job lost by America's preeminent industrial company, China was planning to export 10 new cars. It was not just manufacturing that was moving to periphery states. The advent of high-speed, inexpensive communications, along with cheap computing power, has allowed Asians to compete in service sectors as well. Anything that can be digitized can be globalized—architecture, law, accounting, administration, data processing of all sorts, call centers, record keeping, marketing, publishing, finance, and so forth. What is left for the developed economies? What could they do?" - William Bonner, Addison Wiggin, Empire of Debt: The Rise of an Epic Financial Crisis (Get the book.)

"Rachel only buys new cars: "It cost seven hundred and fifty pounds? For God's sake, Michael, join the AA: they have a breakdown service." "Are you running away?" asks Carmen. She thinks I will stay in Scotland and put everything off until the University term starts in October.

"The piezoelectric principle is used today in thousands of advanced applications, including echo-locating units in some new cars that sense the distance between the front bumper and an approaching object, and can sound a proximity warning alarm. So what are gas grills, car electronics, and Indian rattles doing in a book about the link between consciousness and your cells?" - Dawson Church, The Genie in Your Genes: Epigenetic Medicine and the New Biology of Intention (Get the book.)

"Environmentalists call for the government to raise the fuel economy standard for new cars from the current 26.5 to 48 mpg and for new trucks from 19.5 to 33 mpg by the year 2000. This action would save more than five times as much oil as the Interior Department says might be found in Alaska National Wildlife Refuge. The Natural Resources Defense Council calculates that if new cars average 48 mpg and new trucks 33 mpg by the year 2000, U.S. C02 emissions could be reduced by 4 to 5 percent.

"Wartime restrictions, however, made consumer goods scarce or nonexistent (no new cars, for example, were built in 1942-46).

It was stoked by $200 billion in maturing war bonds and an upwardly mobile, college-educated workforce created by the G.I. Bill. Stagflation The decade of the 1970s was marked by the unprecedented combination of rising prices and slow economic growth. Economists coined a new term for the global phenomenon: stagflation." - The New York Times, The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge: A Desk Reference for the Curious Mind (Get the book.)

"Both the Environmental Protection Agency and Consumers Union report yearly on the fuel efficiency of new cars. When you buy a used car, go to the library and look up the mileage ratings in publications from past years. • Buy a used or restored car. There are many serviceable and relatively fuel-efficient used cars available. Manufacturing new cars requires a tremendous amount of energy and resources. • Drive safely. Lower speeds, slower starts, and gradual accelerations improve fuel economy. Driving fifty miles per hour uses 8.1 percent more fuel than driving forty miles per hour." - Debra Lynn Dadd, Nontoxic, Natural and Earthwise (Get the book.)
