Who would've ever thought that anyone and everyone would be driving a car? Cars are a way of life in today's society we no longer use horses or even walk to our next destination. With the growing population, having to meet life’s demands and leisure we have growing emissions pollution problems and high costing oil and gas prices. Over the years scientists have been concerned over the global warming on the earth. There are many things that cause global warming but one of the primary causes is cars and trucks on the road every day and all day and never ceases.
Everyday vehicles create so much pollution that car emissions kill 30,000 people each year in the U.S. (Bluejay, 1). That is a lot of people dying from cars pollution. Car companies have tried to make more efficient cars which are called hybrids; these hybrids get more efficient gas mileage which creates less emissions because it
Mara B Felix AC1110103 EN 120 – English Composition Lesson 8 Assignment 4 2. Road Rage The article Road Rage explains how American’s attitudes changes once they are behind the staring wheel of a car. They become very irritated when the person in front of them is driving to slow or if someone cuts in from of them on the freeway. Thanks to this article, now I know that the number of road rage has increase rapidly. “Incidents of “road rage” were up 51% in the first half of the decade, according to a report from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety,” writes Andrew Ferguson in Road Rage (553).
Safer Driving for Senior Citizen Amy Allen Bryant and Stratton PHIL250: Practices in Analytical Thinking J.R. Kuntz October 24, 2012 Senior citizen drivers are putting themselves and others in danger when driving. Studies show that drivers at the age of 80 and older are involved in more fatal car crashes, as much as 5.5 times, as middle aged drivers (Risky Drivers, 2012). This is not because they are dangerous and reckless drivers. In fact, senior citizen drivers are more likely to follow the rules of the road, but it is due to declines in their motor skills, vision, perceptual and cognitive abilities that cause accidents to occur (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration [NHTSA], 2005). Because of their declining health, I feel that educational services need to be offered, more friendly vehicles for senior citizens need to be made, and easier to read traffic signs should be made and more efficiently placed.
I also think the technology exists to boost up the miles per gallon (mpg) a car can have. I believe this because if we have the technology to clone animals and reproduce children without mothers, than we should have the technology to boost our cars mpg. The benefit of a car with a higher mpg will in turn produce a lower carbon emission rating, which means cleaner air with less carbon dioxide. Driving a car is the most common air polluting act a human commits. They commit this on a daily basis with little knowledge of it.
They create nearly 1.5 billion tons of CO2 each year”. Bluejay, claims that most ozone pollution is caused by motor vehicles, which account for 72% of nitrogen oxides and 52% of reactive hydrocarbons (principal components of smog)”. Bluejay also said “Car emissions kill 30,000 people each year in the U.S. Riding a bike to work will save money, and help the environment. But driving to work will actually do the opposite.
Taking advantage of these extra lanes for cyclists not only aides in economic situations and transportation needs but will prove beneficial for the health and wellness of Edmond’s citizens. The lanes created by the city will encourage people of all ages to get out of the house and exercise. Not only do these designated lanes promote the health of the citizens but promotes the health of the planet. With more people riding bicycles, the amount of carbon monoxide and other harmful emissions released in the atmosphere will be decreased. I began this editorial with a grim story to bring attention to the seriousness of my topic’s nature.
Lots of people means over crowded places. Then, people produce garbage, and being a big population they will not recollect the contamination as fast as it is produced being an important pollution cause on the world. Besides waste, another way to see that population growth as a cause of pollution is that cities become being bigger and as big is the city, big is the pollution on it. Also, Transports are another source of pollution related with population growth. For example, a research found that USA 60% of the gas pollution is caused by auto vehicles.
For example, the increase in pollution because of the cars, factories, and natural gases, could be fatal to our atmosphere. Each year there are more cars in our world, factories produce more
Essay 1. Whether cars should be banned in all town centres is a complicated issue, and one which many people have strong feelings about. There are some reasons why cars should be banned. Firstly, it would reduce pollution greatly, which is especially important since town centres always consist of tall buildings and narrow spaces which often hold the pollution in one spot. Secondly, with less traffic there would be fewer accidents, and hence society would save money because of reduced medical expenses.
