Systems like the one implemented by Santa Cruz bikes
It is expected that with continued research, biobutanol could eventually surpass gasoline as the primary motor fuel. Evidence proves that biobutanol is more acceptable environmentally than gasoline and conveniently, biomass is readily available for the steady production of biobutanol. Biobutanol is more advantageous economically, environmentally and socially. With it being cost efficient, releasing far less CO2 vapours and opening a new job market, biobutanol can eventually take over gasoline as our primary motor fuel. Method Information for this analysis was gathered from Curtin library resources including scholarly journals and government reports.

NHTSA estimates that in 2010, helmet use saved the lives of 1,544 motorcyclists, and an additional 709 lives might have been saved if all motorcyclists had worn helmets (NHTSA, unpublished data, 2012). With motorcycle ownership at an all-time high (8.2 million registered motorcycles in 2010, compared with 4.3 million in 2000), motorcycle-related deaths and their associated costs are expected to remain at high levels unless more effective protective measures are implemented . Helmets are proven to save lives and money. Universal helmet laws are the most effective way to increase helmet use. (CDC MMWR) It is clear that helmet laws save lives.

Hybrids and electric cars are the best invention since sliced bread, what do we do with sliced bread? We benefit ourselves or others with it, and that’s exactly what hybrids and electric cars are going to do for our atmosphere. We’re fighting for clean air, so come back at global warming with a hybrid or electric car to save our atmosphere with this atmosphere-saving miracle. Glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising, cloud forests are drying, wildlife is scrambling to keep pace, and greenhouse gas levels are higher now than in the last 650,000 years. Guess what, the environment was just fine 650,000 years ago before we came around and started messing with it!
