list of things we can do without, thereby preventing global warming and pollution

Air conditioners
television
automobiles
motor sports
large wardrobes
carnivorous diets?

Out of the list above, the no-brainer is the large wardrobe.

One can argue that the air conditioner is a necessity in hotter climates; however, the same effect may be reached by drinking cold fluids and swimming- in the worst case, one would have to take siesta during the hot hours of the day.

Automobiles must either be fixed to be energy efficient or banned if an efficient solution is not readily available.

Motorsports are a subcategory of the automobile issue- while they are probably not widely-polluting, they also do not serve much purpose, and hence they may be banned.

Television sets resemble automobiles in that they must either be made extremely energy-efficient, or banned.
