I didn't realize these were available. I'll have to get a set when I'm up for renewal.
I appreciate the sentiment, but personally I send more money to the state than I want to already. If I ever feel the need to proclaim my interest in the pines to the world, I'll get a bumper sticker
Its a little more then that:
Protect the New Jersey pinelands
If you purchase the Pinelands license plates for your vehicle, you will help immensely, as these funds will help acquire land for the Pinelands National Reserve and protect its delicate natural balance.
You are obviously a lot more trusting of the state government that I am, and that's fine since I've become very cynical. Do you have any specific data that shows how that money gets used? How much of it is lost in administrative overhead? And if you didn't buy a license plate, would less land be acquired? Or would they just take the funds from another source?
If you like the way the license plate looks and don't mind spending the money then I have no quarrel with that. But given the shenanigans of NJ politics, it seems a little idealistic to think that buying a license plate will protect the pines. If you are really interested in doing that, why not make a donation to one of the conservation organizations where you can see where they money goes?
nice ride! I'm shure I have seen your jeep around town.
