Cars, trucks and other forms of transportation are one of the biggest producers of air pollution in our country. Emissions from the transportation sector significantly contribute to ground-level ozone pollution (also called smog) and particle pollution, both of which are very harmful to health, and can even be deadly. Cars and trucks also emit carbon dioxide, which is one of the greenhouse gases responsible for driving climate change. Each year, the American Lung Association releases its State of the Air report, which shows that nearly half of Americans live in unhealthy environments.
Tune in to today's episode to hear from two experts from our partners at Robert Basil Cadillac on all things electric vehicle! Electric Vehicles give off zero emissions, making them a safer alternative to gas and diesel fuel cars, trucks and busses. Besides environmental benefits, owning or leasing an electric vehicle can benefit you personally. EVs can be cheaper, less maintenance and more efficient! Take a listen and learn from Adam Beck, General Manager and Will Basil from the Management Training Program.
The American Lung Association addresses the health threat of climate change and air pollution with clean transportation through our Electric Vehicle Solution. You can also read more on Clean Air Outdoors, Climate Change, Air Pollution and much more on our website.
