4. Adopt a Dealer
The Adopt-a-Dealer program is an easy way for anyone and everyone to get involved in the movement to break our oil addiction. Forming a coalition between local residents and car dealers is an effective tool in catching the attention of manufacturers. The dealerships are crucial allies for two main reasons: a) Dealerships exist as the retail face of car companies; and b) When dealers complain, carmakers listen. Enlisting dealers as allies is a key step in getting the manufacturer to make a U-turn in its business practices. Learn more and sign up at the Freedom from Oil website here

5. Demonstrate at a Car Show
Nearly every weekend there is an auto show happening somewhere in the U.S and Canada. These shows are attended by thousands of people, and are a great place to educate people about the risks of our primitive cars. You can find a list of auto shows at cleancars@globalexchange.org

6. Educate Your Community by Hosting a Speaker
Communities around the world suffer the impacts of oil addiction—from protesters in Nigeria being gunned down by forces hired by oil companies to Indigenous peoples in the Arctic seeing their very way of life destroyed by global warming. By sharing these powerful human stories, you can show your friends and neighbors why we must hold the auto industry accountable.

7. Ticket the Gas Guzzlers
Many people who drive gas-guzzling SUVs are unaware of the costs of their over-consumption. You can help alert them to price of their behavior by putting a mock parking ticket on their vehicle. For a packet of SUV tickets, send an email to cleancars@globalexchange.org

8. Hit the Pavement
One way of educating tens of thousands of drivers about the hazards of oil addiction is by draping a banner over a freeway overpass. Just take a bed sheet, paint a slogan on it such as "Gas Guzzling Is Unpatriotic: Declare Freedom From Oil," and hang it off an overpass. For more slogan ideas, write to cleancars@globalexchange.org

9. Write a Letter to the Editor
Letters to the editor are a terrific way of making your opinion heard. Write your local newspaper and explain why you think the auto industry should be doing everything it can to improve the fuel efficiency of American cars.

10. Pass a Green Fleets Resolution
Police departments, city and county offices, and universities around the country are investing in hybrids as a way of saving money and bolstering national security. Get your community or campus to support the clean energy future by passing a resolution calling on government or college officials to study how much could be saved by investing in hybrids.
