re: #267 Mosh

What do you think would be the best way to combat climate change?

There is no silver bullet. Look instead for a thousand ways to reduce waste. Here are just a few ideas. Permit schools to go to 4-day weeks (save ~20% of busing costs and reduce the utility usage), time the stoplights in cities all across the country to improve traffic flow (stopping and starting kills your gas mileage), ease air permit rules to allow polluters to make incremental improvements to facilities (instead of the all or nothing approach we have now), promote plug-in hybrids to eventually replace much of the fleet, Deliver the US Mail 3 days a week instead of 6.

Think of lots of little ideas instead of looking for the one big one.
