Transportation accounts for about one third of the pollution responsible for global warming. Most people drive to work alone day after day after day, but we can choose to share rides in a number of ways, or we can find ways to use our cars less often. Our planet, over millions of years, has experienced periods of both warming and cooling. Scientists debate whether or not recent trends in global warming are caused by our modern society. Cars today are built to run cleaner than ever before.
Gasoline is cleaner too, but the fact is that there are more cars on our roads than ever before.
Change driving habits. Make grownups aware of how often they use the car alone. Talk with friends and family about air pollution and global warming and how personal choices really can make a difference. If each adult shared a ride or cut back on just a couple of trips each month, it would significantly reduce the number of cars on the road and therefore it would cut back on the amount of pollution in our air. Carpool Instead of four people riding separately in four cars, they share a ride in one car.
