Hello Daniel:

 Thank you so much for your comments. You make a lot of very good points. Here in the Sierra Club-Los Padres Chapter (Ventura and Santa Barbara counties, CA) we are working hard on several different campaigns to get local governments to increase mass transit and others way of getting people out of their cars. More bicycle friendly cities is part of our campaign as well as getting local companies to encourage carpooling for employees and using electric vehicles in their company fleets. We are getting results here.

again thanks for writing, we are all in this together and each of us does makes a difference.

for a cleaner planet,

Jim Hines, Conservation Chair
Sierra Club-Los Padres Chapter

Mr Hines,
    It is obvious the reason people drill for oil is demand, not profit; if people stopped using oil there would be no profit and drilling.
What can I do to help?
   Hello, as a lifelong conservative and libertarian and since its founding Tea Party member, today's story about the "McMansion" actor Ron Howard sold sets a bad example.
   I believe it is hard to set an example of legislation and taxation supposedly for 'saving the planet' when the worst offenders are liberal entertainers.
   Of course, in all honesty, my hat goes off to Amtrak Joe, Jr.!  a Senator who commuted by public train (and still does, according to rumors - I can verify we saw a lot of people carrying guns in Union Station) is an example I believe everyone should try to follow.
    Yes, I agree with more Amtrak service. We ride the train as much as possible.  What else?  Encourage flexitarian.  Also, we just learned Nestle is drilling for oil right there in California in one of the driest in the nation - all because the land is owned by Amerian Indians.
    You can encourage electric bicycles.  Also, we need to be realistic about illegal aliens - the simple laws of mathematics state if population increases, so does demand for resources.  The native population here, that is, all demographic groups, have a negative birth rate; it is only the massive illegal immigration that is responsible for more demand for oil, water, land resulting in loss of habitat.
