Help environment with hybrid, electric cars

Air pollution is hurting the entire planet by the dangerous emissions released into the atmosphere. Gas-powered vehicles are the main contributor to the pollution and must be reduced for Earth’s sake. Global warming is a thing that is making our world an uncomfortable place to live. If we let it continue at the rate it is happening, the world will become an uninhabitable space.

A hybrid or electric car is the option to turn to.

According to National Geographic, the ice caps are melting, increasing the sea level. This causes more hurricanes with more power and an increase of floods and droughts. With more droughts, that means less food for people and animals.

Changing cars may not be your first thought on how to help the environment, but by changing to an electric or hybrid car will help reduce emissions and help slow down the effects of global warming. If more people switch, then there is a reduction of pollution.

Another reason to switch to the hybrid or electric cars is to help get rid of the effects on people. Some of the smog that comes out of the tailpipe gets into our lungs and harms our lungs. I know that we think of cars as helpful tools, but is it really good for you if it is harming your life?

Gas-powered vehicles are terrible to Earth and all that inhabit it. The emissions of the cars harm so much more than what we are used to thinking. We only have one planet to live on, and though it may not seem to be affecting the environment much, it will in the long run. Making the switch gives a better world for the next generation.
