The cold war era policy to expand highways has destroyed older American cities by slicing up neighborhoods and contributing to an unsustainable use of energy for shipping and transporting. Let's redesign how we move stuff and ourselves with greater efficiency. The cost of gas for cars and planes will only go higher. Instead of leasing toll roads to foreign companies, we urgently need to build a nationwide high speed rail system designed to serve people by saving energy and the environment.
On the first day of the new administration, the president should raise gas taxes two dollars a gallon to a) decrease our dependence on foreign oil, and b) decrease auto emissions in the U.S., thus decreasing global warming.

Using a methodology that considers the entire commodity chain, it estimates that livestock are responsible for 18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, a bigger share than that of the entire transportion industry.
The Earth & all that inhabit it are facing a major catastrophe if things aren't done & done NOW! As the leading world power (& producer of most of the greenhouse gases) we should take a stance & set an example to the rest of the world. Start on the individual level(use canvas bags whenever you shop, energy efficient lightbulbs, recycle everything you can, etc..) & continue all the way to the government level( declare polar bears endangered, set laws to protect them & their environment-this mea
