Here is an idea :
Motorcycles use far less fuel than cars.
So, let's all switch to motorcycles and we all save millions of
barrels of oil per day.

Even better, if you don't need to go very far or fast, a moped
uses even less fuel than a motorcyle. They sell electric mopeds
that don't use any fuel at all.

Without cars on the roads, riding a motorcycle is much safer.
