Clean Development

The Millenium Development Goals, agreed to by every member country of the United Nations in 2000, call for the worldwide eradication of poverty and hunger, universal education, gender equality and huge improvements in health by 2015: two years ago!!

Can we do this without making the planet warmer?

Let's think big and imagine how we can confront the climate crisis in a way that is realistic about the other major problems that we face as a planet and as a species on it.

What car should you buy?

The simple answer is: go electric, save the polar bears. The long answer with evidence and things would be: Everybody should do their part to help prevent the greenhouse gas effect and reduce climate change, and an easy way to do this for the upcoming generation is to purchase electric cars. Cars that use gas for fuel produce exhaust, which contains many greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and water vapor. These type of cars put these greenhouse gases into the air, quickening climate change. It shouldn’t be that hard to find a local electric car dealer near you smile

I have done some research, and realized that even though electric cars directly don't produce any emissions, the production of electric car batteries and the amount of electricity they use is detrimental to the environment as well. The car itself may not be producing carbon dioxide, but the factories that produce the cars still produce a large amount of greenhouse gases and the materials needed for those cars still require a lot of not recyclable materials. Therefore, cars in general are harmful either way. We should instead use bicycles and walk as much as we can, because they are not as harmful.

Since my family owns electric cars, I thought the same as you before. But after further research, I realized I was wrong.
