Everyday, millions of miles are travelled, and that is a huge contributor to global pollution and carbon dioxide emissions. While this is a well known fact, not nearly enough is being done to reduce the amount of emissions. People need to start committing to better ways of transportation. Walking and biking are great ways to get around when it comes to shorter distances, but often people are too lazy, so they drive instead even if it's only a couple minutes. Of course there's longer trips where walking and biking aren't as practical, so we should emphasize the benefits of carpooling, eco-driving techniques, and electric cars. Electric cars can be expensive, but they greatly reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emissions. My mom has one, and she loves it, except for the fact that it can be difficult to find places to charge her car, besides at home. I think that the government should add more free charging stations to encourage the growth of electric cars.

I would completely agree that when it comes to transportation, people need to be more self aware of the damage they are causing to the environment. I have noticed from other adults discussions, for the reason of not having a more environmental friendly car, electric cars is that there aren't many places available for charging the car. How do you think we can convince the government to add more charging station, and not just in the United States.
