groups to help alleviate traffic congestion and improve poor
air quality.
Scientific
consensus tells us that the extreme warming we see today is
largely the result of emissions of carbon dioxide and other
greenhouse gases from human activities, including industrial
processes, burning fossil fuel, and changes in land use, such
as cutting down our forests.
Additionally,
burning fossil fuels for energy and transportation is a primary
contributor to global warming. Transportation accounts for
at least 30 percent of the problem. Although the solution
is not complicated, it is however the most challenging to
address because we are dealing with human behavior.
DID
YOU KNOW that almost 20 lbs. of CO2 is emitted for
every gallon of gasoline that is burned. To find out more
