"AUTOMOBILES ON STEROIDS"

We live on borrowed air.Stolen water.Dinosaur gas
There are limits to all growth.We are they who age defines endings
Infernal combustion engines continue to reproduce
beyond the capacity of roads to absorb them
Unless and until 100% recycling occurs/ trash car yards planet
Punitive gas taxes do not work-UK/Australia tried /failed
Pedestrian zones work-expanded CBD areas of no-cars,
just bicycles,pedestrians,pedicabs,horses,carriages
Fuel efficiency is a minor theme-cars started with coal and steam
and are evolving into solar and hybrid diesel battery VOLT scenes
Space is an issue.Gridlocked cities.Valet parking garages.Economic apartheid
Multiple use vehicles (public transport)is a start.Every one of us travels.
What is required is zero casualties ,minimal environmental damages,100% recycling
As if this planet can live without us-with trees,hugs,greenery,gardens and clean air
