Transportation
The Union of Concerned Scientists recently identified transportation as the most significant, consumer-related environmental problem. Of great importance is the tremendous contribution that cars and light trucks make to global warming (almost 30 percent of all greenhouse gasses). Therefore, making sustainable transportation choices needs to be a top priority.
