alright, you're president bush, what's the plan?
everyone (including myself) is upset with the current enviromental actions (or lack there of) the goverment has been taking.. so what would u do in thier shoes?

i think it would be tricky to get people to change their lifestyle without mass resistants... but change is definately needed... and now! so i think i would begin with making energy conservation *interesting* to the public by impacting them where they notice.. in the wallet!

1. hybrid cars.. large tax break and push for cities to give 1/2 off for parking of hybrids..

2. immediate 8 cylinder tax.. if u don't NEED an 8 cylinder vehicle for work, you have to pay an ANNUAL tax of lets say $500. this is for all of those people that drive huge SUV's that don't need them and cadalicas with V-8's when a V-6 would do the job.. the money would go to off set other tax breaks...

3. going green tax breaks... tax breaks for green roofs and renewable energy such as solar/wind on residental homes..

this is just a few ideas to get the average joe to conserve.. dosn't address the big factories, just getting the conversation started...

if i was bush i guess the first thing i would do is find away to end the war in iraq.. every time i log on the net, the first thing i read is about more deaths over there... very depressing :-(
