Fixing Flaws in Transportation to fight Global Warming

            First of all we can start using our cars less by having people carpool more. People could also take the bus home more instead of being driven by their parents. Since there is also a problem with obesity in some places like America, people should start walking or biking more. This would help them get in shape and would reduce the amount of carbon put in the atmosphere.

          Next people can reduce emissions from their car by maintaining it. This will help leaks and pollution from the car from occurring. Studies have shown that also hard braking and driving very jerkily like a jack rabbit decreases the time of travel by only 4% when the amount of pollution let out is almost 40%. You should also try to avoid stalling your vehicle because it gets you nowhere and produces greenhouse gases. You should also try using your air conditioning sparingly because it wastes fuel when you could just open the windows.

          One major but easy way to help stop global warming is to get a fuel efficient car such as a hybrid. Some things that you can make a hybrid car even more efficient are by giving it a temporary shut off when stopped in traffic. This way the car is not stalling. The engine also acts like a generator when slowing it charges the battery. You could also get thinner wheels to reduce drag.

          Lastly, you can try to reduce the amount of heat or air conditioning you put in the car. Since air conditioning and heating makes the car burn more oil, you emit more carbon. You can instead where a jacket if you’re cold or wear a t-shirt if you are hot.
