Solutions: Transportation

Implementing improved methods of powering the varied modes of transportation is the single most effective way to protect the environment and reverse the causes of global warming. The major methods of Transportation include: ships, railways, aircraft, trucking, inner city light rail, buses, automobiles, motorcycles and bicycles. Any and all of these can be improved with alternative power. Using an electric car instead of a gasoline auto can prevent about 10,000 lbs (five tons) of CO2 per year from being spewed into the atmosphere.
