Today the world is struggling with environment change and the issue of global warning. The world has never been like this before because of so many reasons. The biggest problem is increasing temperatures year to year. Increasing temperature further creates issues with public health and economy. Governments and nongovernmental organizations are working to change the situation this planet is facing. In this case, most human daily activities have a big impact on the atmosphere. One of the biggest problem is air pollution. Air pollution is mostly caused by industries and motor vehicles. Industry and motor vehicles produce harmful carbon dioxide. Therefore, People should contribute their part to save the planet to stop using their own car for everyday activities, and they should use public transport more. When people start using public transport, the carbon dioxide emissions become limited. In most cities population is growing, and the same time the traffic is increasing. As the matter of fact, cities polluted by the vehicles which produce toxic gas, and this makes the environment adulterated. If people use public transport, they could reduce pollution, avoid air pollution related diseases and global warming. Using public transportation has a lot of benefits for the environment and the economy. Weather it is using buses, train or shuttles. Public transportation is the best solution to save the environment, money and reduced traffic jam. One of the main benefit of using of
Pollution has become a heated issue in recent years. The destruction of the environment along with serious health problems are the eventual effects. The extensive use and availability of automobiles, tremendous amounts of production in the booming economy and the constant increase in demand for energy, can be held responsible.
Cars consist of being the number one way of travel throughout the United States. We rely on them to transport us to work, activities and necessary destinations. With this constant use of vehicles, it has had a negative impact on the environment. Although cars were invented almost a century ago to make life easier with getting around, car pollution has been our number one source of air pollution and has significantly impacted our environment due to how accessible they are. Arising problems such as air pollution, global warming, and health issues of americans, we have to come to the understanding that our environment is at risk if the amount of car pollution continues to increase.
If the public transportation improves, more and more people would take buses instead of driving. Then there would be less CO2 for our environment. Mohammad-Beigi, Nouri and Liaghati (2015) claim that the population in large cities is growing very fast, which means that transportation needs also increase really fast which leads to environmental problems. Therefore, in order to solve the problem, improving public transportation is a good solution. This study shows that driving cars really causes air pollution and it is harm for our environment. Phoenix is the largest city in Arizona, so the population growth in Phoenix will lead to the same problem that the three author mentioned. Improving public transportation will be helpful in decreasing the number of drivers and therefore reducing toxic emission. According to the PR Newswire Europe Improving public transportation in Brasilia (2009) claim public transportation is good because buses are more orderly, and they are safer and have less impact on the environment. It also shows that public transportation can help to reduce air pollution. Phoenix is an urban city like Brasilia, so it has a similar situation. Improving public transportation would be a good solution because it will lead to less driving. Then we will reduce exhaust gas
Moreover, Traffic on the road is growing every day, due to which traveling time even for nearby place takes hours. besides this, the increasing number of cars on the road is one of the key reasons for the increase in air pollution.
The numbers calculated in the table above showcases the amount of vehicle-based chemicals that are released into the atmosphere every day. These chemicals are suspected to contribute to not only the global warming of the Earth, and have also been linked to many harmful health effects to humans. It was extremely surprising to see such high levels of emission within the results, so much that it begs for a solution. One way the college alone could cut down on exhaust emissions would be to promote alternative fuel technology as well as implement energy efficient transportation to be accessible to all students. However, this initiative would take a large amount of funding. A more practical approach could include an overall increase in public transportation as well as the encouragement of the use of car-pooling; or better yet, to encourage the use of walking or biking to
Using public transport and avoid driving cars is preferable option because today cars gas emission is measured as so high, and the most harmful. The reason why I believe that this is one of the biggest treats is that even the new cars today they don’t seem to fulfil the requirement for gas emission. Furthermore,
Public transportation, such as trains and buses, in America is a thriving business that helps cuts down on the emission of greenhouse gases into the environment. During the weekdays, 35 million people take public transportation to get to work, travel around the country, or just to easily get around a major city without having to worry about parking. In 2013 alone, Americans took public transportation over 10.7 billion times, which it the highest amount in over 57 years. Because of this high amount of people taking the public transportation 865 million hours have been saved in time that would have otherwise been spent in traffic. Public transportation has also saved 450 million gallons of fuel that would have been burned in traffic alone.
Have you ever thought about what Seattle would be like if there are no cars on the street? The cars make our lives become convenient and there are so many other advantages that we cannot live without cars. However, the large number of cars in Seattle are gradually destroying our environment since the emissions of cars contribute a lot to the Greenhouse gases which cause the climate change. The car emission problem in Seattle becomes so intense that must be fixed as soon as possible because it affects the global climate, influences the citizens' health conditions and ………
Recently, studies have showed that motor vehicles are the causes of pollution and climate change. Some may argue that the governments should not do anything to solve this problem, however, I believe that the governments should take action to regulate automotive emissions and enforce public transportation. Motor vehicles release too much carbon dioxide, we should decrease the amount of vehicles on the road, and more people should use public transportation instead of using their own vehicles.
Firstly, public transportation reduces carbon dioxide emissions. For instance, if everyone used their own private car to get to their destination daily, there will be a plenty of poisonous toxic gas released into the atmosphere daily which contributes to global warming and air pollution. "Public transportation produces about half as much carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide, per passenger mile, as private vehicles"(1). Thus, an advantage for our environment as well as for our health. "A research by United Nation revealed that people who are more likely to use public transports have contributed in reducing emission as much as
As Chain’s economy is growing so quickly, it is not avoidable that our environmental pollution will become more and more serious period. With the development of industrialization, there are various forms of pollution that will increase and cause environment problem. Most of the pollution does not threaten only our health, but also the existence of other creatures. Those convenience, which become more and more reliable for humans, comes from commercial products that we use every day has a big influence on environment. For example, automobiles are convenient for personal transportation, but they are the large percentage of the world 's
Al Gore has been one of the most powerful men in the world at a big crucial time for our nation. Have you ever stopped and thought to yourself that once upon a time he was the most important man of the earths future and of the awareness of the global climate change movement. Not because he has done the most, but because politically, he put it on the map, and because he is making it a bigger part of our daily life. I get that while he was in the position to do something bigger and more than anyone has ever done for the global climate change movement he didn’t show up or didn’t do as much as expected of him. We have to take a look at ourselves from within and be true to our emotions and ourselves that he has done more than anyone. Al Gore has given us the lemons and it’s our responsibility to use them and make lemonade before its to late to do anything with those lemons. At the end of the day, we would have to do it ourselves before anyone can do for us. I mean the man has a Nobel peace prize for warning of us what will become of us if we don’t change how we live. I just feel that we owe him more respect for what he has done. Sometimes we just have to forget about something’s because at the end of the day we have all let people down and at the moment we are letting ourselves down which is more embarrassing than anything else, and make the most of what we do have. I know we all know what global change is but I’m
This investigation is about whether the government should consider reducing the use of motor vehicles to reduce the different emissions in the atmosphere. The government has considered charging people per kilometre they drive to help reduce emissions in the atmosphere. Instead of increasing the price of petrol/diesel/gasoline, they want to charge people for using their cars. The main concerns is for people that live in the country but work in the city, they would be charged a lot of money to drive there and back each day.
Global change is happening on Earth and is affecting the Polar Regions, especially Greenland. There are many things that global change is doing; temperatures rising, ice melting, and water levels rising. Temperature rising affects the ice melting, the heating of the Earth, and the weather. The melting of the ice affects sea levels rising and affects the temperature rising. Finally, sea level rising affects the climate and more temperature rising. These issues are and will continue to affect the Earth, badly.
Modes of transportation such as trains and cars were created as a way to connect the world. The creation of the railroad system allowed for global trade and travel to foreign countries. After railroad systems, humans desired personal modes of transportation so cars were invented and created a more efficient way to get around. The mobilization of the world may not seem like such a bad thing. However, transportation comes with economic consequences. The evolving forms of transportation humans have adopted since the early 1900’s has been a cause in climate change.
