Each gallon of gasoline you burn creates 20 pounds (9 kilograms) of GHG. That's roughly 6 to 9 tons (5 to 8 metric tons) of GHG each year for a typical vehicle." Car Pollution FAQ How does car pollution affect
Every time you go for a drive, pollution is emitted directly into the air which causes significant risks for your health, especially for people who live near busy roads, and for the environment. You see it every time that smoke billows from your car's exhaust pipe, and from all the diffe...
Although it's not a perfect analogy, you can think of the Earth sort of like your car sitting out in a parking lot on a sunny day. You've probably noticed that your car is always much hotter inside than the outside temperature if it's been sitting there for a while. The sun's ra...

How does a gasoline internal combustion engine work? How do gas laws apply to cars? How does an air breathing jet engine work? Where does gas exchange occur in plants? How does water enter the atmosphere in the water cycle? How does the climate system connect with the atmosphere?
The dissipative structures that last are the ones best adapted to the Earth’s ever-changing environment at that time. Somehow, the world economy (and other ecosystems) maximize the total output of each part of the system, under the Maximum Power Principle. This isn’t dependent on any one ...
(i.e., greater care for the planet) can broaden the set of behaviors that are experienced as functionally equivalent, making seemingly different behaviors serve the same function to help the environment. However, changing attitudes may take a long time. Additionally, identity reinforcement (True...
On the other hand, artificial grass can also help conserve water because it doesn’t need to be irrigated, it reduces the use of chemical pesticides and herbicides, and it has the potential to reduce the need for fossil fuels and gasoline during lawn care. Final thoughts Installing ...
The invention of the car. Wheels may be 5500 years old, but the cars we drive round in today made their debut only in 1885. [1] That was when German engineer Karl Benz (1844–1929) fastened a small gasoline (petrol) engine to a three-wheeled cart and made the first primitive, gas-...
