The answer was yes, and now that neighbourhood is cutting greenhouse gases and air pollution from cars. In Halifax, a woman named Deanna Ranger worked to get better commuter parking around transit terminals. She knew that one bus can take as many as 40 cars off the road. And that's what is happening across our country. People are starting to leave their cars at home and take the bus or the bike.
Environmental groups are also very active.
Organizations such as the Sierra Club and Pollution Probe are taking an active role and encouraging people to reduce the impacts of vehicles on health and the environment. It takes a while to change people's attitudes. Remember , it wasn't that ago when we saw a picture or an ad of a man or woman with cigarette we thought immediately of flavour and sophistication. Now , when we look at that same picture we think 'those poor people mustn't be able to read. Slowly but surely we are beginning to change the false image of the car as glamour, the car as style to an image that is more in touch with reality.
