Green transportation

Transport is the main source of pollution in the

world. Ecologists believe that the rapid increase
in the number of vehicles is becoming an
environmental crisis. Also, the exhaust fumes that
comes from cars (and planes) contain poisonous
gases and pollute the air.

One of those gases is carbon dioxide (CO2), which

is a greenhouse gas. And all that pollution that is
being released into the air is resulting in ‘Global
Warming’.
Green transportation is all about efficient and
effective use of resources, modification of the
transport structure and making healthier travel
choices.

To accomplish this, it is necessary to create public

awareness and participation, to control the
private owned vehicles and to produce vehicles
that utilize renewable sources of energy such as
wind, solar, biofuels and hydroelectricity.
