Real sweeping change will only come about through individual action. Just stop driving and actively encourage others to do the same. Time is running out--that is, if there's even time left to reverse or minimize the effect of largely automobile-induced global warming. What are you waiting for, more proof?

Mass Transit Could Reduce Oil Dependency 40%
An independent study shows the car pollution solution is closer than we thought...

An Alternative to AAA
The better world club offers rates and benefits that are competitive with AAA's, yet come without the anti-environmental lobbying. In fact, like Working Assets Long Distance, Better World Club donates 1% of all revenues towards environmental cleanup efforts nationwide. Better World supports sound policies like mass transit funding and the Clean Air Act. http://www.betterworldclub.com/

How the North is Getting Burned
http://www.globeandmail.com/series/deathwish/0605.html
"In fact, the warming has been so significant that the Arctic ice, which for thousands of years acted like a thick insulating tuque keeping the entire planet on climatic course, has begun to shrink -- alarmingly...." Global warming is a reality. Is it too late to reverse the process?

Old News

Arianna Huffington used to drive a Lincoln Navigator, until she saw the light. She's now on a crusade to turn the tide. Her website offers frequent skewering of SUV culture. She's also spearheading http://www.detroitproject.com/, a campaign which creates and places TV ads about the connection between gas guzzlers and terrorism. It is heartening to see someone with her visibility and influence daring to buck the trend.

A well-written book review enumerates the problems with SUVs:
