Fuel Efficiency is a big factor in the worlds concern for global warming. 90% of pollution is caused by automobiles. When you increase your vehicles fuel efficiency you decrease the amount of fuel that you use at one time. In the U.S. we consume the most fuel and if we were to cut back on the amount of fuel that is consumed this would also cut back on the amount of pollutants that are going into the atmosphere such as: carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, benzene, formaldehyde, and polycyclic hydrocarbons. These pollutants also starve the body of oxygen. They agitate asthma, are carcinogens, and can possibly lead to death. The uses of trains, buses, subways, and carpooling will decrease the amount of pollution in the air by allowing multiple people to ride in one vehicle. Hybrids and hydrogen vehicles are also good alternatives because they use less harmful alternative fuels to power the vehicles.
