Do You Love Your Car?

Do you love your car? Do you love it more than life itself? I ask because it may well come to that.

Private automobiles are responsible for the gratest portion of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. In other words, cars make up for the greatest portion of pollution entering your lungs and contributing to climate-change in the global environment.

Why do we keep to cars then? Is it because they are so indispensable? No. We love them because we were taught that they provide us with social status, with convenince and principally because we take pleasure in owning them. Other than that, the automobiles are a readily replaceable solution for private/public transportation; though our societies have come to depend much on them.

For instance, the obsolescence of the private automotive transportation model for great urban centres is obvious to anyone who gets stuck in traffic on a daily basis. What's missing both in governments and in the general gender is the courage to change.
