Green Corner: It is easy to get
caught up in behaviors established by society, many of which are not
in harmony with the natural environment. Our cars emit approximately
20% of the carbon dioxide emissions. For every gallon of gas burned,
a car emits 20 pounds of CO2. The technology exists for all cars to
operate with fuel efficiencies of 30 mpg or better. What can you do? |
