Vehicle Pollution
Vehicular Pollution
The majority of today’s pollution is caused by cars and trucks which are the largest single source of air pollution. With the great number of vehicles on the road we are headed toward smoggy skies and dirty air if we do nothing to help stop pollution. Everybody needs a vehicle that burns less fuel. The key to burning less fuel is to make more efficient vehicles and by putting that efficiency to work not letting it go to waste. Another good way to prevent air pollution is by combining with alternative ways of doing things. Also simple vehicle maintenance can improve fuel economy as well as minimize emissions.
By burning less fuel we are emitting less pollution. There are many ways to burn less fuel we just need to put efficiency to work. One way we could do this is carpool with people that you know are going to the same place as you. The U.S federal government set a fuel economy standard for all vehicles. In relation, sales of lower-fuel-economy light trucks, such as SUVs, pickups, and minivans, have increased dramatically. As a result the average us vehicle travels less on one gallon of gas than it did twenty years ago. This has led to an increase in heat-trapping gas emissions from cars and trucks and to an increase in smog-forming and toxic emissions resulting from the production and transportation of gasoline to the fuel pump. This trend can be reversed by using already existing efficient engines, and transmissions, improved by aerodynamics. This allows vehicles to use less gas because the wind doesn’t put that much of an effect on the vehicle. Methanol, natural gas, ethanol, and hydrogen can deliver benefits to the U.S economy as well as move the U.S away from dependence on oil.
By combining alternate ways of doing things it is burning less gas overall, by this it means to do all of your errands and things you need to do at one time. If you do things at one time than you won’t have to drive out than go home and drive back out this is
