    Do use methane, its free, compost and mulch, eat normal helpings to cut back on the fat so to speak, ride bikes more and walk, plan car trips to stores with others to car pool, even the smallest garden helps in many ways, if you live close to work and dont travel more than 20 miles outside your are, go electric for a car, cheaper for you and better for the air.

    lots of them. most of which aren't really new. though many of them are currently a bit nonconventional. and that's really a shame that the're not. because it really wouldn't take all that much.

    but it does take one little thing from all of us. and that's being objectively consciencous about our choices of priorities.

    the rest can be pretty nearly summed up as usuing noncombustive sources of energy and to propell transportation. putting transportation on energy efficient guideways. (instead of paving the world over for personal automobiles). using more NONforrest products in construction to reduce deforrestation. and propbably most important of all, lowering human birthrates.

    socioculturaly romatacising creativity instead of aggressiveness. ostracizing aggressiveness if anything, instead of creativity.

    recognizing that real gratification comes from creating and exploring and not from excitement or austentation.

    and last but not least, not putting economics, idiology, belief, or any damd thing else i can think of, ahead of the kind of world we all do have to live in.

    carring positively about each other's happiness means essentialy the same thing.

    good intentions are essential, but accomplish little without self honesty.

    Get rid of the "NEW MODEL" every year for cars and all kind of things. Try to standardize, economize and improve existing models as opposed to vain-glorious superficial changes in body design and style.

    plant more bamboo...it is the round pole in the American square hole and has been for decades. bamboo is the fastest growing renewable source of wood, fodder and fuel on the planet. It can be used to make ply-board, paper and chip board and the like. Unlike trees it can be clear cut every few years and will rapidly grow back from the roots (evergreens or softwoods are killed by clear cutting and must be replanted from seedlings). and will produce far more wood per acre(hectare) than trees. A few Americans since Mckelhenney (the founder of Tobasco sauce) have been trying to interest America in bamboo with poor results.

    fines for people/corporations who are wasteful, don't recycle, and don't reduce their own pollution.
