Fix the source

Wal-Mart, Sam's, COSCO, and now who ever are only building on the on-going addiction of our Oil based society to continue finding ways to use their cars. That being said, fighting these giants is fruitless. They have the backing of the people who work for a living and want the convenience of getting the most for their hard earned dollars any time they want. The small local stores can not provide this however in some locations such as the revamped small towns within the bedroom communities are making a come back. Now for all you tree hugging environmentalist listen up, drop your save the environment mantras and go down to your local planning commission meetings and demand public transportation (Electric buses) and bike ways with green ways and tell them to get of their rears and apply for Federal money to pay for it. Of course this will require that they (the city planners) start earning the money they are being paid and make a real contribution to the community they work for. You will also need to do the same to your local city councils. The soccer moms will still want to drive their gas guzzling SUVs but if they can send junior on his bike to the store or have safe public transportation for her kids to use maybe the cost of that gas hog will become to much to pay for and we can hope for the hired help in Washington to quit stopping the development of the electric car behind our backs. You have to stand up and rally We the People if you want to succeeded and you have to make an effort to fix the problem at the source. The large retailers are here to stay, get use to it. I for one grew up riding the bus and my bike and would today, however I don't want to be come a hood ornament on a SUV because the drive is talking on the cell-phone and not watching the road.
