Although the electricity produced by fossil fuels is undoubtedly an important factor in air pollution, poor is only a second behind vehicles motor. In the U.S., CO2 emissions from cars and trucks was $ 314 000 000 metric tons in 2002. (The emissions have continued to increase so constant during the five years preceding the publication of this book.)
Looking for a fairly typical example of the relationship between vehicle emissions Engine emissions from electricity generated by coal power plants in 1996, Travis County in the U.S., produces 1,700 tons of NOx per year, while that motor vehicles contributed 30,000 tonnes.
It seems if our love of cars may be the most important factor in the potential loss of race human. Wherever one travels in industrialized countries congestion on roads and highways is increasing alarmingly. After several thousand feet, vehicles engine and the road network in major cities such as ant nests very busy we are all here and there, crossing each other paths leading to the search crazy to move from one place to another.
Zero emission vehicles
Technologies for zero emission vehicles have been for many years, but the enormous power that manufacturers of motor vehicles and to exercise their undeniable association with the oil companies saw many of these inventions actually canceled. Their ability to compete with giant conglomerates undoubtedly be hindered until there are improvements in storage capacity of batteries and robustness of fuel cells Hydrogen (FCH) and Conventional automobile manufacturers decide that there is enough market for HFC vehicles, electric cars and hybrid designs that promise to give a long way toward reducing greenhouse emissions.
Meanwhile, U.S. emissions standards for vehicles motor well below those of China and Europe, has become a pariah for its inability to global adoption both cleaner motor vehicles and to ratify Kyoto Agreement. His resistance has provoked considerable anger in the world, especially in developing countries, which while not contribute much to global environmental problems, however, one hundred percent suffer from the effects of climate change.
The car is killing us!
Now is the time to reconsider the As we rely on motor vehicles. How many trips in a central place of work than sitting behind a computer screen for much of the day that could fill the same role in the home? Employers are not sure, everyone is sitting behind a computer screen, but it is necessary to give a hiring more people in residential communities on the bike or on foot. With videoconferencing and other technologies, it seems unnecessary for many companies from paying expensive space Office rent and infrastructure costs associated with tall buildings.
City planners should consider ways to build communities that fully support the needs of its people in terms of employment, medical services, shopping, entertainment and education. In addition, each of us in the labor force will to rethink their goals and objectives to determine our race to integrate green thinking in our work habits.
We no longer cities bedroom suburban sprawl remote areas where people are forced to use motor vehicles and public transport is inefficient, impractical, or services are irregular or too uncomfortable. Worldwide, the roads have become clogged with motor vehicles, each with a person, so the answer is to make public transport more attractive and use the family car unattractive or expensive. We must educate people to think twice before taking a bunch of machines inefficient and polluting.
A complete change of collective reflection on the real cost of cars is essential to our survival. This could be achieved through the introduction of a carbon tax on petrol and diesel, with the proceeds going to burn each reduction strategies liters of carbon, such as planting trees. government rebates appealing to motorists to purchase another vehicle technologies raise the necessary change in attitudes of the public parking.
Instead of being symbols of status, public perception must be changed so we have a social conscience about the use of motor vehicles, both as we do today about recycling household waste. In most Australian states affected by drought are familiar with the change in night in the public perception of water use. When the dams began to fail and waste water could no longer thirsty garden sprinklers and long hot showers, most cooperated very easily, so why not change the perception on the use of motor vehicles harm the environment?
Is it just wishful thinking?
If you think the above proposal is unlikely and not pause for a moment to think about cigarettes. Who Australia or New Zealand and dreams of lighting a cigarette in a restaurant in the shopping center building or office? Smoking in the presence of No Smoking is now recognized as an act offensive and a violation of the right of others to breathe clean air and unpolluted. advertising campaigns and other strategies for concerted public education can and must work very effectively.
The benefits of moving from a waste greedy, hedonistic consumer society far outweigh the drawbacks. We could all start communication and empathy with others better. A lifestyle we leave the mad search for more "stuff" will result in a decrease significant mental and physical health. As slow to us, carrying the precious gift that was given this beautiful planet we all share, it could also become more spiritual, more appreciate the sacredness of nature and our children. Is certainly worth considering, right?
