Hummer vs Prius

There was recently a member ship drive for clubs at a local school. One of the clubs, the school's sustainability club, did a raffle and went around the gym giving away free gift certificates to one of the store's donating to the raffle, IF they could get the question right.

The students were randomly asked the two following questions:
1) Which one emits more gas: a Hummer or a Prius?
2) Which one is more energy efficient: an incandescent or CFL lightbulb?

Unfortunately, four out of five answered the first question incorrectly and one person answered the CFL question correctly.

Uh-Oh!

Even in a time where climate change is the topic in schools, our students can't even answer the simplest of questions about it.

Let's hope this is just a couple people who had a brain fart and not the direction our leaders are heading towards!
