What a confusing thing to say. Both the terms "green" and "world" are quite vague.
I suspect being "green" requires some kind of big sacrifice well beyond just spending more for the hybrid option alone. The false belief of getting forced out of your vehicle type of choice, rather than simply being asked to consider the upgrade next time to a cleaner and more efficient propulsion system, is common. That's unfortunate. But misconceptions are still abundant.
As for having an attitude, our country's automotive market is very different (we guzzle much more) than the rest of the world. Yet, the denial of that isn't considered "holier" and the acknowledgement of it is. That's backwards. And that's quite troubling when you consider how slowly change is accepted.
