I have three points: -------------------- 1. Not everyone would take part but even a 10-20 percent reduction in the drivers reducing their use of the highways would help save fuel, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reduce highway congestion. 2. Signing up for the Conserve,Now program would be voluntary. 3. The costs of not reducing greenhouse gas emissions should be a great concern for everyone, but especially for young people wanting to start a family. I have two young adult daughters. Should they start a family knowing that the children they have may experience horrific lives as they age?
