Agreed. One thing we should stop doing too, is buying big-ass, unnecessary gas guzzling tanks as personal vehicles. These behemoth trucks / SUVs have, for a large part, moved away from their utilitarian purpose in recent decades and now people drive them simply because... they want one. The Western provinces are really guilty of this.
A transition to more fuel-efficient / electric models with less of an environmental footprint, including reducing the amount of driving we need to do by investing in clean / robust / easy-to-access public transportation and cycling infrastructure, is a great start.
