I believe that the majority of a person's carbon footprint comes from the usage of gas powered vehicles such as road vehicles (passenger cars and light-duty trucks) and airplanes. It is generally one of the several primary sources, alongside household energy consumption, food/dietary choices, and the consumption of goods and services. Switching to electric Transportation significantly reduces carbon footprint and is crucial for combating climate change as a community. Tailpipe emissions (released from exhaust pipe when fuel is burned) aren't produced when electric vehicles are being operated. Beyond climate benefits, eliminating these tailpipe emissions improves local air quality, leading to overall better health outcomes and less respiratory and cardiovascular problems in the community. Adopting electric modes of transportation (Tesla, Chevrolet Bolt, etc) is a necessary step towards achieving net-zero emissions and preventing the worst impacts of climate change.
