Private cars, most households own at least one. With the new craze of 17 -19 year olds being to learn to drive and own your new car the government gives out new data on the increasing co2 levels which have risen by 4% since 1990. These levels are not sustainable, causing an increase in global warming and climate change.
However is there a way to make the use of private cars more sustainable?
Recent changes have started to take place with the introduction of the electric car, once not heard of in Britian and a facination and joke in Europe has hit the market with companies such as Mazda leading the market.
Mazdas new car only takes 15 minutes to charge and can travel 400 kilometers travelling at speeds of 150 km/hr.
But is this sustainable?
The use of hydrogen and not fuel suggests it is, however the problem lies in the efficiency of the car. There are no places yet to charge the car on the road and it does not have the capability to travel as far as a fuel powered car.
But maybe if the government keeps pushing the idea and the big car companies such as Mazda keep advertising and improving the idea might catch on and in the future we may have more sustainable cars, creating a more sustainable future.

Fair enough...hopefully sooner or later the manufacturers will come along and save us from having to do anything by providing us with the solution - a cleaner vehicle.
But shouldn't we be doing something first to sort it out?...like perhaps thinking before we drive and, at least, checking out alternatives?
