^^^ The details are all over this thread. Either you haven't read hem or have disregarded them.

But lets start. A hybrid car will significantly reduce the amount of gasoline you'll use. Going on the waste not want not theme, there are way too many SUV's and trucks that aren't fuel efficient. Not just for power, but in general. Because it costs more to sell an efficent vehicle. Well if you can't afford a vehicle, maybe you shouldn't have one. That would be lifestyle AND corporate.

We use far to much electricity (and water and food etc but not the focus of this thread) Better bulbs, better appliances will cut down a lot. Better habits will help. I'm a huge saver, but I know so many who aren't Using lights and appliances they don't need to, having things on when they don't need to.

Better buildings and houses improve this even further. Use more natural light, add solar to your water heater/supply if applicable, better insulation. The list goes on and on.

Everyone does a litle bit, and it's so easy. That's why government can enact such measures and let the market take over. If on thing free market has proven it's very adaptable.

You joke because you choose not to change or feel inconvienced. The answers are already out there and MANY OF US HAVE DONE THEM. With government and corporate support, it's only easier.

Businesses are afraid case they want to sell as cheap as possible to retain advantage. People are afraid cause they don't want to pay more.

But when the system gets standardized everyone will be selling/paying the same anyway. And yes we will be paying a tiny more, but that's the lifestyle change.

Way better than the consequences. And we waste too much as it is. Morally we do. We're pigs, we waste. It's our responsibility to get better.
