Energy consumption statistic of the day

Global warming poses a real and pressing threat to the planet and to humanity and it’s clear that modern industrial societies must radically and quickly reduce the amount of carbon dioxide they are collectively injecting into the atmosphere.

But as important as reducing CO2 output is, it’s crucial not to forget that there are many other pollutants which result from our heavy reliance on gasoline-powered transportation.

Driving injects carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrous oxide, and particulates into the atmosphere – and it creates the conditions for the production of hazardous ozone. These all have a negative impact on our quality of life and health, especially on our lungs.
