[Paddlewise] Racks/mileage may vary

I went to a kayak club meeting recently and noticed many
many cars with empty racks on car roofs. It makes a nice
'I'm a kayaker' badge, but adds to greenhouse gasses. Take
'em off.

Cycling to work this morning I was passed by a Suburban with
a Yakima pod on the roof. Not only commuting with several
extra tons to move his 200 lb body, he had to add i to i
with an accoutrement he won't use again for months. We Yanks
have the biggest environmental bootprint on Earth...
