Scientists claim that an immediate reduction in transportation is necessary to reduce co2 emissions. Solutions like ride shares, ubers, and public transportation can be extremely helpful during this reduction. Only 9% of car sales are electric vehicles, however, with new policies, the percentage is predicted to increase. Additionally, the decreasing cost of lithium batteries increases the affordability of electric vehicles. This article also shared how telecommunications reduce transportation and reduce co2 emissions by encouraging people to meet and talk online instead of traveling.

 

This article offered many solutions to climate change regarding transportation. I learned that it’s important to act and change now in order for the survival of our climate. Electric vehicles are a safe, but the expensive solution, and hopefully will become more popular in the future. Many cannot afford to buy electric vehicles, and I think we should try really hard to reduce the cost inorder to benefit the environment.
