We, the people, can start by taking responsibility. We can stop eating meat, which contributes more than transportation to global warming. Many of us, from the people, can consider remote work as a criteria when choosing our jobs, mostly because the dirtiest of all SUVs emits nothing when parked in the garage. BTW, we the people managed perfectly well to get around with much smaller cars before we "had" to start buying guzzling SUVs in droves. We can vote and we can vote with our wallets.
