Many good questions in the workshops' plan. But the most important question is still missing.
Good driving is impossible when the car runs too fast in the bend. There are not good choices on an Earth ruined by population growth and consumption growth.
First of all we have to question the holy cow of this hu-maniac civilisation. Be humane, not hu-maniac!
