Technological and Environmental Improvement

Paper Summary:

This paper begins by citing some statistics on carbon dioxide emission rates in the United States to demonstrate the need for changes in U.S. commuting policies and technologies. The paper then discusses two overall approaches that could be taken in order to cut the emissions of motor vehicles and suggests that these approaches are mutually supportive. The paper goes on to discuss the many environmental effects of carbon dioxide emissions and concludes with a warning of what will happen if the problem is not addressed.

From the Paper:

"National Research Council brought out a report in 1997 recommending that important changes in the U.S. commuting policies, technologies, and activities may turn essential to minimize emissions of the motor vehicles and the following hazard of global warming at the time of the consequent century. And due to the fact that commuting has its part in the society of the nation and economy, there needs to be a balance created in mobility and need for access of people as against the resources of the environment and natural resource requirements. The report has said that there are two overall advances which have to be taken into account in cutting of the emission of motor vehicles of the generally termed greenhouse gases in course of time."
