Dual-fuel vehicles
A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm
So as I'm reading this article I am saying wow to myself. It is so inspiring to be seeing something done with things that are hurting our environment. Not only is he getting the crap out of our streets, but he is raising awareness and funds for the better of the environment. This was extremely interesting because it almost makes the reading think "oh, well if he's doing that, what can I do?"
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Jenna! After reading the article I also asked myself "What could I be doing?" This inspires me (and I'm sure many others) to go out and better my community/ environment by getting involved in creative ways.
DeleteSzaky's idea for reducing waste from packaging seems like a great idea. I have seen some products mentioned, like the backpacks made out of old packaging, in stores. However, I think utilizing packaging such as the stainless steel shampoo containers Szaky mentioned is an even better way to reduce waste. This article definitely takes a creative spin on reducing waste and helping the environment.
