Well, shoot, why don't we just have the state pick your spouse based on close proximity and pick your career based on environmental friendliness. While were at it let the state choose where you shop and what you buy, what you drive (until the internal combustion engine is outlawed, of course), regulate the amount of time you can speak per day (don't forget, boys and girls, when you speak you exhale larger amounts of CO2).
I'm sure the intelligent folks on this forum can come up with hundreds of other things that the state can do for us to help "save" the environment.
