Secrets of Harmful Emissions

Most of us these days are at least a little concerned about the impact that our carbon footprint is having on our planet. And whether we like it or not, the vehicles we drive, and how we drive them, have a major impact on that footprint. The good news is that most of the cars being produced today are a lot less impactful on the environment than their 60's and 70's predecessors, but any car that uses an internal combustion engine, whether gas or diesel, will have an impact on the environment to a greater or lesser degree. A good way to figure out what the impact of your new car will be on the environment is to visit the EPA's website, and look at their Green Vehicle Guide – this site offers data on the emissions and impact of most new cars – which should make the decision a little easier.
