Greener Miles ™ is just one piece of our comprehensive strategy on climate change. It is not a substitute for our continuing work on vehicle fuel efficiency. It does provide an incremental, short term action to help bridge the gap until we are able to implement longer term solutions. And it allows individuals to take positive, direct action now to share in the solution.
Niel Golightly

The greatest felony in the news business today is to be behind, or to miss a big story. So speed and quantity substitute for thoroughness and quality, for accuracy and context. The pressure to compete, the fear somebody else will make the splash first, creates a frenzied environment in which a blizzard of information is presented and serious questions may not be raised.
Carl Bernstein
It seemed to me that professional associations might be a substitute for community associations in people's lives, and that is, in fact, what I found.

These paintings originally were painted for people who just wanted to relax and escape the realities of their world, like pollution and overpopulation. And they still offer us a tremendous escape.

Lynne Ambrosini
Foreign-born workers do not substitute perfectly for, and therefore do not compete with, most native-born workers. Rather, the complementary nature of the skills, occupations, and abilities of foreign-born workers increases the productivity of natives, stimulates investment, and enhances the choices available to consumers.

Chase Cofer
DEBT, n. An ingenious substitute for the chain and whip of the slave- driver. As, pent in an aquarium, the troutlet Swims round and round his tank to find an outlet, Pressing his nose against the glass that holds him, Nor ever sees the prison that enfolds him; So the poor debtor, seeing naught around him, Yet feels the narrow limits that impound him, Grieves.
Ambrose Bierce

Bonnie Martinich

He was a substitute, so he could have filled in on a number of different classes.
James Evans

Martin Coles
Offensively, we're doing some good things. We just need more repetition versus defenses. We just haven't got the experience yet. The kids are working as hard as they possibly can, but there is no substitute for game experience. We've got to get that, and that will start Friday night.
Bob Warren
It was the second time he had done something like that, and Holland decided he can't be a substitute any more. They can find something else for him to do, but not that.

Joeleen Akin

Kelley Hester
The ability to quote is a serviceable substitute for wit.
W. Somerset Maugham

Sam Walton
It's a matter of choice. But there's no substitute for being in class. Just as they have to spend a certain amount of time on the waves to attain a necessary level of skill, they also have to spend enough time in the classroom to attain a high level of knowledge. Sure, some people have succeeded in life without a proper education, but those are few and far between.

Princeton Lyman
That doesn't fool a dog. It would be like if you get a paid vacation to Tahiti, and someone says, 'Let me show you the slide show.' It doesn't substitute for the real thing.
Peter Borchelt
[Yet the bars, goos, and ices are no substitute for real food.] Energy bars are manufactured products, ...

Antonio Cassano

Stephen Fleming
The solution is to gradually become free of societal rewards and learn how to substitute for them rewards that are under one's own powers.

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
They will have to show significant improvements in profitability or a great success in a specific product to get back the market's confidence. They keep saying they want to use content to drive sales of electronics, but hoping that would happen is not a substitute for a business model.
Carlos Dimas
They're all going to see quality playing time. But we might be playing games by committee sometimes, games in which I substitute a lot. We just need more girls to play 60 minutes of consistent hockey. Two five-minute spurts isn't going to get us anywhere.
Mike Shern
When we substitute wireless for wired connections it's often difficult to know what is connected.
Morten Kyng
If I were the judge, I would just continue with the 12 jurors she's got. I think it'd be a bad mistake to substitute the jurors at this time.

Yossi Sedbon
Organization can never be a substitute for initiative and for judgment.
Louis D. Brandeis
There's not enough natural gas to substitute for heating oil. So this will help support crude oil prices. What we need is not (crude) oil but heating oil and natural gas. Unfortunately, there's no strategic reserves for them.

Toshifumi Yachuda
Collectively, these results indicate that most smokeless tobacco products are not necessarily a safe alternative to smoking and are inferior to medicinal nicotine products with respect to carcinogen exposure, ... Smokeless tobacco products should not be considered an acceptable substitute for cigarette smoking, especially when relatively harmless medicinal nicotine products are available.
Stephen Hecht
We don't actually have Billy Idol in our show. But we do have what you might call a Billy Idol substitute. And the song isn't sung on an airplane -- though we do have an airplane in the show. The final song is sung in a place that's big, really big.
Chad Beguelin
Intimate relationships cannot substitute for a life plan. But to have any meaning or viability at all, a life plan must include intimate relationships.
Harriet Lerner
It isn't nearly as exciting as it was when I was gearing up to play. I know that I won't have an opportunity to make that game-saving tackle or the big play that will get replayed on and on forever. So, while I am excited to be here and this has been a wonderful ride, there is no substitute for that feeling of knowing, come Sunday, you are going to have the chance to perform at the highest level.

Inclusion in the emissions-trading scheme is a necessary first step but it is no substitute for tough measures such as the introduction of a Europe-wide aviation tax and the requirement for airlines to pay duty on the fuel they use.
Chris Davies
There's no denying that there is no substitute for effort. For him to play 100 minutes without any substitution, and just give it what he gave, you have to take your hat off to him.
Jon Pearlman
The substitute right now is on hold. He's out of the rotation for substitute, just as long as the district needs to look into it and find out exactly what happened.
Margaret Gallardo
Substitute teachers have a part in the success of these students.
Donald Hall

George Norman Douglas
I just didn't know what to expect. . . . There's no substitute for experience. Now I realize I need to work a lot harder off the field. It's not about just getting out there and running, it's about studying and knowing your opponent and knowing the job you've got to do.

Georges Braque
Any discussion of the problems of being funny in America will not make sense unless we substitute the word wit for humor. Humor inspires sympathetic good-natured laughter and is favored by the ''healing-power'' gang. Wit goes for the jugular, not the jocular, and it's the opposite of football; instead of building character, it tears it down.
Florence King
I make Mexican food, Italian food, pasta, but now I just use a meat substitute.
Chris Roland
In 2004, just 54% of contractors were predicting their earnings to rise, while 20% were predicting a fall in earnings, compared to only 3% now.

Matthew Brown
We've been looking for 30 years, and we have not found an acceptable substitute for PFOA.

Bob Barker
Today, the media dictatorship is becoming a substitute to military dictatorship. The big economic groups are using the media and decide who can speak, who the good guy is and who the bad guy is ... Anti-US.

Eric Draper
