What burns more fossil fuels car pollution or running the usual amount of electricity in your home? What if everyone took one day out of every month to not use transportation? How would you feel about that I think it would really help? It might hurt business but the environment is way more important. And why do you think it is that cars are becoming bigger and bigger and even though the technology is available to cut down on emission even more no one is using it. What if the government set a law in place that no cars could be manufactured after January 2008 that do not exceed a mpg limit? And what if laws were put in effect to limit the amount of traveling one could do depending on that rate and what they do for a living.

I know those laws would expend certain freedoms but it would be for the better good. Don’t you think I am right? Or am I delusional in my way to help the environment?

As we all know, global warming is real and if we don’t stop it serious damage could take over the world-India’s population is very large and it counts for a large amount of pollution-So how can we reduce pollution in India? I thought about making traffic rules, so cars dont speed away and leave fumes everywhere but I think that isn’t very good. What do you think?
Monkey M. . .you know what you said about birth control? That’s true but mean. . . I woulda chosen u for best answer . . .but that idea of ‘punishing’ is cruel!

I think that some parts of the world will really improve the way they impact the environment, but others will not. And with increasing population, increasing number of cars, and expanding industry, things could just get worse.

So what do you think our environment will be like in 50 years?

I am in traffic all day with my job. Smokers roll burning butts over my hood every day all day. Car makers took ash trays out of cars. What are they supposed to do with their burning butts then, and is throwing them out the car window considered littering and illegal?

I am writing a paper on global warming and was wondering what percent of pollution comes from the exhaust from cars? Thanks!

I have a van that gives 18 mpg. It has 170,000 miles on it. The wear shows but it is doing fine otherwise and all othersystems work. I have owned it for 8 years.
My next car will definitely be a Hybrid that gives more than 35 mpg.
My dilemma is:
I could trade this one now and start emmiting less green house gases.
or
I can drive the one I have for another 40-50k miles; thus delaying a cars worth of hard ware and mterial consumption for another 4-5 years.
So the question is: What is more environment friendly – Trading in old gas-guzzlers early for Hybrids or running them out for thier full life? Becaue after I trade this one in now, someone else will buy it and drive it for another 50,000 miles anyway, right?
What is worse: gas fumes of 300 gallons or Meterial for a brand new car?
