Speaking about pollution, I believe the best thing anyone can do short of riding a bicycle is to get a light-duty diesel vehicle and run on pure biodiesel. That's hard to do as of now, but hopefully biodiesel will become cheaper and more available in the near future.
Not so far off topic........that treaty is an enviro-nazi manifesto, practicly making it impossible to use motor vehicles.

China pollutes far more than the USA,(how many Billions live there?) they have no Pollution controls at all. Yet they are exempt, same with India, Both can use all the R-12 they want dump all they want and we have to get stuck with R-134. USA is larger and more sparesly populated than many and as such internal comustion engines are needed. And in those Diesel. Like The Peoples Republic of Kalifornia, they expect the rest of us to shoulder all of the burden, while exempting themselves.

Sort of like the UN.
