One green move: Enforce speed limits
State and municipal governments talk of going green and setting a good example in hopes that Washington will see positive results.
I haven't seen or heard anything about enforcing our posted speed limits. Enforcing speed limits would give many positive results. Lower gas prices for one. Remember "supply and demand": Use less gas, the supply goes up, the price goes down. There would be significant reduction in exhaust emissions, giving the planet much needed breath of fresh air.
We would still get there on time, and goods and services would still get delivered, not to mention a safer, saner drive to our destination.
