Car Pollution


What is the difference between earth and other planets?….Air and Water.  No other planet can create and sustain life.  This is due to the fact that no other planet contains air and water, as of today.  However, what if ur air was no longer good enough to be able to sustain human life?  This is actually occurring right now.  Currently, us human beings have been polluting our air.  This means that the air we breathe is being polluted with dust, gases, odors, fumes, and chemicals that may essentially cause harm to us.  This will cause and as caused harmful affects to us individuals along with our wildlife.  Air pollutants mainly occur from industries and motor vehicles.  These pollutants can essentially cause global warming and other harmful affects to the environment.  What I mainly want to talk about in this blog post though is the effect that cars have on our environment.  Cars (automobiles) have impacted the lives of human beings greatly.  However, they have not only affected our lifestyles, they have affected our environment as well.  Fossil fuel combustion, the result of driving a car, is the worlds most common cause of air pollution in history.  It contributes the most to the worlds air pollution.  As we all know, car use continues to increase.  Most people in America own a car; it is rare to know someone that does not own a car.  Because of this, car use is increasing every year leading to more air pollution.  Because of this, we need to be more considerate and more educated on how our driving affects the air.  Instead of driving gas containing cars, we could own hybrid vehicles which get their energy from batteries.  These cars are pointing their way to the future and should be considered more when people buy a car.  Also, people need to start using cars responsibly.  There are many times when people can either walk or ride a bike somewhere, however, due to laziness people tend to get in their car for a faster outcome.  But, I think we need to start becoming more conscious of the fact that we are polluting the air and start improving our environment by not driving cars when it is not necessary.
