Raising fuel efficiency in vehicles is a good step. Tightening emissions from coal plants another. Moving to CNG or LNG for transportation. Nuclear power. Changing the gut flora of cows to non methane producing bacteria (sounds silly but methane is a potent greenhouse gas). Quit subsidizing corn. Quit subsidizing highways (current gasoline tax doesn't cover the cost of highway repair, that money is coming from your income tax or corporate tax). I see the greens have suffered another setback in the area of pollution control. online.wsj.com Other ideas that are pretty unpalatable to many; Limit or stop having dogs as pets. One dog = large SUV in terms of yearly co2 footprint. Travel by Rail, not plane. Skip the vacation in Europe and go to a national park here. Move to New York or San Francisco (large cities have the lowest per capita carbon footprint) Plenty of folks that are pretty fired up about the environment but who are unwilling to change their lifestyles. OTOH, there are plenty of folks who are willing to do their part. I'm switching to grass fed beef, for example. -g- guardian.co.uk
