Every morning, as Lynn Schmidt walks out of her Long Island, N.Y., home, opens the door to her baby-blue Prius, waves to her grumbling neighbor and pulls out of the driveway, she has every reason to smile.
It's not just the 45 miles per gallon her gasoline-electric hybrid vehicle is getting. And it's not only that she can go three weeks without a fill-up.
It's also because that through her choice of automobile, Lynn is doing what she considers her share of being ecologically reasonable.
"Everyone should be concerned about the level of emissions," says Schmidt. "We all need to do our part and make changes for the better."
She's not alone. With skyrocketing oil prices, many owners of hybrid vehicles and practitioners of the "green" lifestyle are seeing their eco-friendly choices pay off.
But that's led to some grumblings from late adopters — and charges that the greener-than-thou are guilty of "eco-snobbery."

For the life of me, it never ceases to amaze me that Fox - and all those that identify with them - are more than willing to traffic in such nonsense simply because it is a platform that is important to "progressives" and Democrats in this country.
If a prominent Democrat started speaking about the health benefits of eating vegetables, Fox employees would start trying to convince their audience that vegetables were bad - or that if you eat vegetables, you're a "snob", and "elitist".
