Carbon Footprint Reduction By Matt Rodd
Every year, the United States contributes greatly to the pollution, both air and water plus many more. Vehicles are one of the most contributing factors to CO2 and CO3 emissions. Vehicles, produce 60% of all carbon emissions in the U.S. In cities, its believed to be as high as 95%. Reason for Reduction
Reduction Solution As simple as car pooling makes a huge difference. A single car produces around 1.10 lbs of Carbon Dioxide. When you carpool 3 people, you decreasing the amount of carbon from 3 cars down to one and it decreases the amount of carbon to 0.37 lbs.
Effects of Reduction Reducing the amount of carbon emissions will overall improve environmental health and also human health. All types of pollution including water, air and ground is slowly killing the environment and since it’s a gradual change , we aren’t going to notice it right away. The longer we don’t notice, the more sever the damage is going to be.
