Transportation is a massive factor for CO2 emission because people travel places everyday to go to work, the park, school, or family outings. People like to have their own private things if they can afford it. They like to have their own houses, their own toothbrushes, their own jobs, and their own shoes.  People love having their own things so they will buy their own private cars, jets, motorcycles, and mopeds. This abundance of private transportations produces mass amounts of CO2. My family has unconsciously been doing an experiment to see the outcome of gas cars to electric cars. A few years ago, my dad purchased a Tesla and solar panels to power our house. Our Tesla would be working without fumes bursting out of both sides of the car. Our other car is an SUV Lexus which uses a lot of gas due to its enormity. After a few months, we could tell the effect of our car on the planet. The planet was heating up more and more just like how our Lexus spat fumes and heated up everything around it. Some changes that could work to save the environment are: using public transport and carpooling more often. Public transport can also be improved in America to be more like the trains and busses in Canada. Both the trains and busses are powered by electricity and it emits much less CO2 into the atmosphere. These are some ideas that could and should be made to America.
