At 4:00pm this afternoon the GA governer ask all school systems to take early snow days on Monday and Tuesday in an effort to conserve gas.

Most all counties have complied to this request and those that intially said they would not comply I am sure will by Monday.

However, I believe he is missing the point.

Now instead of just driving to school and driving home that day people will probally be driving to get other things done or they will drive somewhere for enjoyment.
What are parents of elementary children going to do? (I bet they will have to drive them to daycare or to a babysitters rather than putting them on the bus.)

The inital effect of this request has caused long line at gas stations and people topping off their tanks. (Again)

To make an impact people need to change their lifestyles by using alternative methods of transportation or carpooling.

Taking two snow days off is just a short term answer.
