Junk your SUV and buy an electric scooter
If people wouldn't buy multiple SUVs and Hummers per family, give their 16-year-olds new SUVs for their birthdays, drive to places they could walk to, and refuse to carpool, our demand wouldn't be so high. We'd probably still be the #1 consumer of course, but we're making the problem worse with our excess consumption. Also if the driving age was raised to 18, every 16-year-old that's currently driving would not be, and thus less gas is needed.

How about this idea. Nobody can get a drivers license unless they can prove that they can back a tractor trailer into a loading dock. This was proposed by an uncle of mine. You would probably have a lot less cars on the road. On the other hand, numerous taxi services, mass transit systems, and bike paths would sprout up, in addition to those already present.
