IF the price of oil goes through the roof, i will in a heartbeat no longer use my car for everyday use. I guess i would have to let my wallet do the thinking for materialistic things. If they had an unlimited low embodied source of fuel which is efficient like hydrogen cells and easy to produce without putting a lot of CO2 in the air, i would be pioneer number one.
HEll i am prepared. I have been saviing a fortune by riding a bike to uni. i get fit as well so i'm happy.

As far as global warming, traditional fuel sources and increasing petrol prices go, the way I see it there isn't going to be much choice apart from using the car less.
Owing to the increasing price of petrol, running a car is not as economically viable as it used to be. Secondly, traditional fuel sources are a major contributor to global warming. As this problem is becoming steadily more critical, it is important that we either find alternative ways to do things, or use alternative energy sources. At the moment, public transport, while still polluting, produces proportionely less pollution and can also be cheaper.
So, yes, I'm prepared to use the car less to cut air pollution.

In order for me to use my car less than I already do I would have to buy one!
Check this out.This is the truth.When the gas prices were going through the roof,car dealers could not keep hybrid cars on the lot.
As soon as the price of gas went down(and I mean as soon as it dropped)people started buying the gas guzzlers again.
What does that say about us?
I think people believe this global warming thing is a joke or that we will be able to reverse the trend once things get bad enough.
But things are already bad enough.
I mean,who really believes people are going to look for alternative energy sources when folks are willing to pay up to $3.10 for a gallon of gas.
We are coming on a time when you won't be able to buy a glass of clean water for any price.Then what good will the money be?

Use of car will come down if
1. Condition are created that running/parking of car becomes incovenient and/or expensive.
2. Efficient and clean public transport till Metro Railway etc. are made available to the public so that they are weaned away from their personal transport.
Having given the above parameters, it is suggested that policy framers should use a combination of the both the above proposition is judicious way so that public at large enjoys better health.

i will relatively say as a expert motive force, I even have seen a number of the worst drivers the roads can grant up. I force an 18 wheel advertisement motor vehicle and that i'm getting decrease off a minimum of five cases in step with hour on a solid day (particularly situations in simple terms inches from my vast rig bumper) while using interior the city. persons are continually careless and weaving by way of automobiles (in a hurry). it style of feels that anybody has the mindset of "i grew to become into right here first", or "i desire in right here NOW". i think of mandatory motive force preparation is the start of an answer. I too grew to become right into somewhat bit a lead foot approximately 5 yrs in the past, earlier I took a advertisement motor vehicle motive force direction. i've got taken the preparation I won, and utilized it to my mindset in direction of the line. I force the comparable in my motor vehicle as I do in my artwork truck. i'm conscious of my environment 360 tiers continually, and that i save my velocity to a suitable value. (with the pass of site visitors) and final... If somebody flips me off or is screaming out their window at me, because of the fact no one is the "suited motive force"... I in simple terms think of to myself... i will by no capability see that human being ever lower back, do no longer waste my time giving them the reaction they desire. Then I smile and save on my way. i gets to the place i circulate and not utilising a value tag or hurting anybody.
