1) Assemble goods LOCALLY. If we eliminated shipping materials from the USA to third world countries to assemble and ship back this would save an enormous amount of fuel.

2) Reduce the number of large scale freight trucks on the road. Ship goods domestically by boat and by railway instead. These methods of transit use substantially less fuel than trucks do for the same distance.

3) Start reconstructing our railway system. Replace shorter distance air travel with passenger trains.

4) Work to end 9-5 commutes. This would cut US gasoline consuption in half.

5) Ramp up production of as much alternative jet fuel as possible. It has been shown that feedstocks like Camelina, Jatropha, Algae, and others can be used to make renewable jet fuel. Companies such as Sustainable Oils, Terrasol Energy, Sapphire Energy, Solazyme, and others have proven that these feedstocks work. Even if the same level of air travel cannot be sustained, I predict that flying planes certain times of the year (such as holiday periods) may be sustainable using this method.
