" We could save more oil by banning school kid deliveries than by banning
burn-out pads...."
I'm not talking about saving oil when i rail against burnouts, i'm talking
about the obscene ,blatant pollution and disrespect for the environment that
burnouts epitomise. Of course there is also the noise .
Shall we just turn a blind eye to a pastime that belches out toxic smoke and
squanders tyres because someone else is also polluting ? In that case lets all
just give up because there will always be a bigger polluter than you or I and
if they're not going to stop then why should we ?
Should ChCh City Council - and by extension- Ratepayers, be in the business of
supporting a practise thats very intent is to pollute ?
We're not allowed to burn tyres for a very good reason... slowly this foul
practise (of burnouts) has morphed into a "sport" but only, I suspect, because
most people have no idea what a burnout looks like... lets hold Burnout Comps
in Cathedral Square or in Mall carparks, let people make informed choices about
whether we should be building Burnout Pads.
