The Modern Dilemma
The carbon dioxide emitted from cars, buses, and many other forms of transport vehicles are extremely dangerous to the atmosphere. It also worsens the adverse effects of climate change in our communities. There are many prevalent misconceptions concerning transport that need to be clarified before we can continue to possible alternatives. For instance, electricity used by electric cars emits heat-trapping gasses and other emissions from the source of its production or the extraction of fossil fuels.
The excessive amount of human waste produced remains a critical issue that only worsens the adverse effects of climate change. The lack of clean and healthy ways to discard waste products leads to many littering and pollution of economically essential water bodies to our community, like the Chesapeake Bay and Rock Creek. Montgomery County has already made progress in switching to greener alternatives for waste disposal, but it is still an issue that needs more attention.
Renewable energy sources are a excellent way to progressively eliminate the extensive use of fossil fuels and sufficiently reduce air emissions in our environment. Energy sources involving coal and other fossil fuels deliver substantial negative impact on the environment as opposed to their efficiency.
