Much of it will be broken and torn. It will not have disintegrated. The name of shops will still be visible on plastic bags. Toy cars, razors, yogurt containers and plastic plates will still be identifiable. No one knows exactly how much guilt the car bears for acid rain, and how much is due to power production, but the precise figures are irrelevant.
Car exhausts kill trees, and that much is certain.
The destruction of the forests is not just a matter of picturesque views being spoiled, or wildlife losing its home. In many places, trees hold together the very land itself so that we can drive thousands of polluting cars and trucks across it. All gasoline-powered cars harm the environment, but the polluting effects of driving can be minimized by taking care in the way a car is used. Those who do not take care simply aggravate pollution and, further, reduce the lives of their cars, and sometimes their own lives as well. Although high pollution drivers are often seen in old vehicles, the speed-obsessed owners of high performance cars are equally guilty of environmental thoughtlessness.
