Well said

Not to mention the fact that the parts to make hybrid cars are shipped from around the globe to very few hybrid car factories, adding to the emissions problem.

If you really want to be "green", stop buying more cars and take good care of the one you have, which happens to be one of the most fuel efficient cars ever made.
