Greenhouse gas emissions can be greatly reduced many different ways. Most of the solutions involve increasing the efficiency of our energy use to reduce fossil fuel demand, while maintaining - or improving - our lifestyles.

Many of the potential solutions have benefits beyond greenhouse gas reduction, such as increased employment, stimulation of the green technology manufacturing sector, and reduced urban air pollution.

A combination of public interest and government sponsored programs can make these solutions a reality.

	Industry: Industry can reduce emissions in flexible, cost-effective ways that reduce waste and enhance long-term profits.
	Transportation: A reduction in automobile use, improved fuel efficiency standards, and better public transit would reduce greenhouse gas emissions as well as urban air pollution.
	Urban Planning: Learn about the benefits of sustainable urban design, and how you can stop sprawl in your community.
	Buildings: Effective building retrofits increase energy efficiency, save consumers money on heating and electricity bills, and are available today.
	Green Leaders: Some businesses and municipalities realize the sound economics of climate solutions and have embraced innovation.
