Overhaul our transportation systems--shift to clean, fuel-free transportation.
Use feedback systems such as wind feedback to improve travel efficiency.
Eliminate fission reactors, coal & oil burning power plants.
Work on mastering
fusion, anti-gravity, magnetics, geothermal, solar, & other innovative approaches.
Preserve nature as we are the stewards of this planet for as long as we are here.
I favor local coop programs that would produce such things as electric cars.

Stop the profit-driven destruction of the planet
My stances:
Innovation can solve a lot of problems regarding the environment.
Stop the profit-driven destruction of the planet.
We are cutting trees, polluting air and water, and depleting the resources of the planet needlessly in the name
of profit and a GDP while people are starving every day, and every year the collective health of humanity declines.
We don't need to cut so many trees down.
We don't need wood for houses--brick is stronger, cheaper to make, and prettier usually.
We need to innovate so that we can have what we need and want while at the same time preserving the environment.
Encourage technologies such as aquaponics that allow for vertical farms.
Encourage more people to grow food and encourage them to use vertical techniques.
Work to expand into space.
Would have voted YES on protecting free-roaming horses and burros.
