One+Walk+A+Day+Could+Make+Greenhouse+Gases+Go+Away


 * Did you know that not only does driving cause pollution but it costs you a lot of money. I bet you you didn't know that driving just one mile costs $1.20!!!!**


 * Did you know that American cars and pickup trucks are responsible for nearly half of greenhouse gases emitted by automobiles globally, even though the nations vehicles make up just 30% of nearly 700 million cars in use?**


 * How Greenhouse Gases Effect The Earth**

I bet you want to know what all the greenhouse gases in the air does do the earth. Well the suns rays come and come into the earth and then usually bounce back out. But with the greenhouse gases surrounding the earth the rays get stuck in the earth and cant get hot so the earth just start heating up. It is sorta like a car in a parking lot on a hot day. The suns rays come in through the open windows and soak in to the dashboards and seats, while some of the rays leave. But with all the greenhouse gases surrounding the earth the gases cant leave. So its like letting the rays in with your window down and then rolling your window up so the rays cannot leave

Heres the percentage of how much greenhouse gas is emitted by each type of car:

Small cars(77):25% SUV's(67):21% Pickup's(60):18% Midsiza cars(54):17% Van's(29):9% Large cars(26):8% Some scientists say that crops are one of the main causes for the greenhouse gases, other scientists say that we should focus on cars emitting the gases. One way we can reduce the gases emitted by cars is by walking! Walking to you friends house is not that hard to do. Plus it saves your family money. As we stated above driving just one mile costs $1.20. So next time you want to go to your friends house just think of how much money it costs to drive just one mile.

America emits the most greenhouse gases in the world. Most scientists think it is because or lack of being able to walk. "Our country has now become dependent on automobiles," said one scientist. If you really are that dependent on driving to places you could carpool to wherever your going.

Another way we can stop the greenhouse gases from building up is using a hybrid car. These cars use half gas and half electricity so then the gas will not go into the air. These are all things we can do, just doing one of things things every day can help this earth live forever.
