Vehicles such as the extremely popular MINI show that a car doesn’t have to be a gas-guzzler to be fun and exciting. Similarly, the Lotus Elise and Exige also demonstrate that high-performance vehicles, if made light enough, needn’t have huge engines.

About Me
- Tom Owens
- I'm interested in nature, technology, and the human interface between the two. I see anthropocentrism (often combined with ethnocentrism and/or excessive religious fervor) as probably the most damaging human mindset, at least environmentally-speaking. A great goal of mine is to inspire a love of nature in people. I believe we will all benefit if everyone can create a bond with other organisms and feel the connectedness of all life on our planet. We all have to realize that humans are not separate from the rest of nature.
