Kill the Keystone pipeline.
[D] The controversial Keystone XL oil pipeline is up for review again by the White House this year. The font thing he should do to set the tone to a lower carbon economy is to reject the Keystone pipeline, said Raymond Pierrehum Bert, a geophysical scientist at the University of Chicago.

[E] Land use is complicated, but large swaths of oceans can be protected by executive order. Just as President George W. Bush designated the worlds largest marine monument northwest of Hawaii in 2006. Obama could single-handedly protect other areas. National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Sylvia Earle said the President should focus on parts of the Arctic that are under U. S. control, putting them off limits to energy production, commercial fishing, and mineral exploration. Marine sanctuaries wont stop climate change, but they can give marine species a better chance of adapting to it by reducing the other man-made threats the animals face.
