This may sound a bit strange but the next time you decide to take public transit take along some packaged candy or chocolates and offer some to the person next to you and anyone you happen to catch looking at you. At first you're going to find a few people who don't know what to make of you but sooner then later you're going to find alot of people taking happily the free goodies you're offering up.

My brother and I, for one reason or another (probably some combination of our upbringing and the environmentally conscious teachers we had at our elementary school) are both resource conservation hippies, so we both fixate sometimes on questions like, "Why don't people give up their SUVs?" or "Why do people insist on consuming so much energy and resources?" In line with the fields of questioning we each entered (his as an Electrical Engineer, my own as a major in Communication focusing on Information Technology), he sees it as a question of convincing people.

My perspective differs a bit.
