Same interesting things here in China: the Group buys are very hot and popular in China this year.Ge You (Chinese movie star) said that group buys contribute to a low carbon life and happiness at a news conference Tuesday in Beijing.

The Chinese movie star has a contract with Lashow.com and is currently promoting the group purchase website's "proposal for low carbon happiness".

Lashow.com CEO Wu Bo said they are devoting themselves to bringing about happiness at low expense.

Group buying activities consume less energy and resources, and generate less carbon dioxide emissions, the company said in its handout.

We use our hybrid for traveling to work/school together. It shuts off at stops or below 41mph, going on electric only.
However, if we lived in town, and the weather was good, I would like this:

If everyone traveled by hybrid and electric bike, or walked, it would reduce CO2---but not enough. Shipping and jet aircraft produce much more transportation CO2. If humanity is to keep from crossing the tipping point of methane self release, then total CO2 and other GHGs must be reduced 90%. Few jets should fly, and freighters should be driven by sail again. Diesel trucks and machinery should be biodiesel only. All power has to be non-CO2 emitting, and power plants produce the most. There can be no more slash and burn farming or rainforest cutting, for that produces more CO2 than transportation.
The whole thing is time constrained. We only have a decade to reduce HGHGs 90% or the tipping point will be breached and there is no human way to stop the self releases of methane from first the tundras, then the oceans, until heat goes up 25*F or more by 2300 to 2500. Much faster than organisms can adapt, for the most part. It is very serious, nothing less than an Extinction Level Event that could be prevented by humans and is caused by humans.

green transport is certainly the way of the future. Here in Newfoundland we just started an electric bike company, and with the cost of fuel and transport being so high here in st. john's, electric bikes and scooters have really taken off. It's amazing to see so many people taking to them http://youtu.be/UdMc8JoO8rc
