Car Pollution

 Carbon dioxide, a miscreant posing hazard to Earth's ozone layer, is one of the major constituent gases of the "Green House Gasses". Carbon dioxide is a gas that is emitted while burning fossil fuels or through cars and other modes of transportation or as industrial effluents that cannot escape from our atmosphere and thus gets trapped. Although carbon dioxide is required and utilized by plants to manufacture oxygen besides biosphere, the oceans account for removal of about 57% of human emitted carbon dioxide.

Huge quantities of carbon dioxide due to industrialization and cutting down of trees affect the carbon dioxide ratio and causes the phenomena of "global warming". This "global warming" thus caused, melts polar ice caps and in turn affects rising water levels. These factors further cause extinction of birds and animals and submersion of land, countries and cities into water. Besides, increased carbon dioxide lead to acid rains and smog, which is a combination of fog and suspended gas together with other air pollutants, which cause respiratory diseases and other ailments.

Green vehicles powered by unconventional fuels

 A global natural gas surplus is fading sooner than anticipated. The global recession, combined with a gush in natural gas creation from inexhaustible shale formations in the United States has soared supplies of blue-burning fuel, and reduced prices in late 2008. The economies in a few countries like China, India and Brazil were scarcely touched by the global recession, and now growing quickly as compared to those of South Korea, Libya and Europe whose economies were hit hard. Japan’s demand for liquefied natural gas also soared high, after earthquake and tsunami banged out nuclear power plants. It is believed that US will be completely self-reliant for natural gas by 2030.
