 Green Cars & Greener Driving
Motor vehicles are one of the most significant non industrial contributors to air pollution, according to the 2004-2005 National Pollution Inventory report.
Every litre of petrol that goes through your engine releases approximately 2.3 kilograms of carbon dioxide from the exhaust. Cars and trucks together account for about 13 per cent of total carbon dioxide emissions.
The level of overall emissions is based on what car you drive (make, model, age) what fuel it uses and how you drive it (e.g. rapid acceleration burns more fuel). Emissions from cars have negative effects on our health and contribute to Greenhouse gases. Take control of reducing your carbon footprint by what you drive and the way you drive.
