Reply #62: Don't have kids.

I know, it's not very popular an idea. But it is the most effective one.

Recycling works. All of the things in this post work. However, since most people only respond to a crisis, the real solution is to use as much energy as possible so that it becomes obvious that we have to change.

And no I'm not out of my mind. I've just spent forty years thinking very carefully about this subject. My ideas don't work with most people too well. In fact, that last one strikes a freeper chord, I must admit. But I saved and saved, and commutted by bicycle for many years. And I realized that that was not going to get people's attention.

edit- There is another option. Sometimes I ask myself which is more important, the economy or the planet. I saw this on a bumper sticker. I think there is something about it that is sinister, and I just don't fully understand it. But one could simply kill themself and therefore save a bundle of energy.
