The duty we have to ourselves, other people around the world and all other creatures on earth both on land, air and in the sea is to protect our environment from destruction.

1. The destruction to our polar ice caps and the warming of our planet serves as irrefutable evidence that we are irreparably destroying not only our earth but that which all other life on the earth relies.
2. Removing cars from the road will serve as one of the most important ways of eliminating greenhouse gases that are causing the warming of the earth.
3. We as citizens of Los Angeles can virtually eliminate traffic on all freeways by simply stop driving one vehicle per each person. The environment can no longer withstand the impact from the use of single person driven vehicles.
4. Each person that travels to the same destination every day can easily be networked with 26 other persons that travel within the same square mile by traveling in a 27 seat shuttle van. These vans are used all the time at the airports, and by tour guides.
5. By taking 27 vehicles off the freeways both to and from work with just one 8 cylinder vehicle will enable the passengers the freedom to do several different things not possible while each person would be driving an individual vehicle.
6. A person can read a book or the paper on the way to work, work on a laptop computer, organize for the days work schedule, or relax. With just 100 27 seat shuttle vans being used would remove 2700 vehicles from the road. This amounts to 10 miles of 5 lanes of solid traffic.
7. 100 vans instead of 2700 vehicles could turn a grinding 1hour and 20 minute ride to work to just 20 minutes. By paying a monthly fee of possibly $300.00, saving on the cost of fuel at $2.50 a gallon, wear on the vehicle, parking fees, insurance etc. could very well prove to be a savings as well as adding another hour of the day by not sitting in traffic unable to do anything except possibly talking on the phone.
8. The efficiency of the shuttle vans would be attained by linking only those people that live in the very close proximity to one another, and also work or travel all within the same area would be linked together.
9. The contaminates that are the waste from the vehicles that we use directly affect the ocean by way of the contaminates mixing with rain water when it rains and by other means and drains to the ocean from the Los Angeles river.
