Survey: When Do You Take Action?

The post was about bicyclists putting stickers on cars that were parked in bike lanes. The reaction ranged from "So, now Treehugger is encouraging "eco-vandalism" by way of bike lanes?!!" to "Tell a cop that someone is parked in a bike lane!? HA! Like that would work. The cop would most likely laugh at you." That's what happened to No Impact Man in New York. That's what happened to blogger Robert Oullette in Toronto.

But it isn't just about bike lanes; Police are too busy to enforce idling laws, bike lane rules, dirty exhaust, littering laws, sound bylaws, lawn watering restrictions and a host of regulations passed by our governments that are just too much trouble to enforce. What can one do?
