1. recyle - avoid using disposable materials, resuse your trash
2. grow more plants - each households should be required to grow plants certain number of plants in their home
agriculturalize the country rather than 3. industrialize - stop constructing buildings, refurbish old buildings and grow plants in idle lands.

Please the article (which I had posted earlier)the benefit of our readers.
Goals:
• Reduce fossil fuel consumption resulting from regional vehicle miles traveled
• Protect agricultural land, forestry and open space as ecological buffers against global warming impacts
• Be a successful laboratory / national model of land use & transportation strategies to prepare for and mitigate global warming
• Protect health, safety and landscape from global warming impacts & related natural resource (e.g. water) supply emergencies and threats
• Capture and sequester more potential GHG (e.g. methane otherwise emitted from landfill and would-be carbon "sunk" into landfill)
• Be a successful laboratory / national model of environmental management strategies to prepare for & mitigate global warming
• Be a market catalyst
• Be a successful laboratory / national model of renewable energy applications to prepare for and mitigate global warming
• Reduce single-occupancy vehicle miles traveled regionally
• Increase the percentage of public transportation used by residents for their total daily travel needs
• Advance regional development of a climate-friendly clean energy economy by implementing economic development policy and investing in alte
