with dangerous and even lethal materials"(Carson 750). Total eradication of pollution and
harm to Earth is improbable; however as there are alternatives such as more efficient
cars, harsher smog regulations, and natural power sources something must be done to
save our home.
Contamination of the air we breathe is the most significant pollution problem man
faces. This pollution has many negative effects on our environment such as smog, the
greenhouse effect, and ozone depletion.
The automobiles used by modern society are a major source of pollution to our
air. There are many ways to reduce the toxic gases that are released into the atmosphere. The development of new energy sources for automobiles to run off of is one solution. Hybrid cars are currently in production and are becoming popular as technology is making them more available. These hybrids switch between using gas and electricity as their main source of power. Making the electricity for these hybrids to use also causes pollution but not nearly as much as the burning of gas used by most vehicles. Hydrogen cars as the name illustrates simply use hydrogen as their source of power. Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe and there is no fear of running out of it like there is for gas. These cars only emit water vapors which have no adverse effect on the environment. These future developments within the automobile industry will help...
