Powering Sustainability with Electric Cars

Why the Future of Transportation Must Be Sustainable and What Can We Do?

Transportation plays a vital role in sustainable development and impacts individuals across the globe. It’s important to explore and implement strategies for a sustainable, economically viable, efficient, and accessible transportation system. Neglecting this can harm the environment.

A report by Texas A&M Transportation Institute, in 2020, average American commuter was stuck in traffic approximately 54 hours a year, equivalent to two days,  and this leads to a significant economic burden from traffic congestion. This situation results not only in wasted time but also in the depletion of financial resources, adversely impacting both the environment and public health.

But we can make a change because transportation is the daily basis of how we live, work, and connect, and we have the control. Making public transportation sustainable is not just an environmental goal; it's essential for our economy and society. Inaction will lead to increased carbon emissions and harm our well-being

Achieve Success With Green Wheels

According to Acropolium, eco-friendly transportation methods yield enduring economic advantages by lowering fuel consumption, enhancing energy efficiency, and optimizing logistical processes. So, sustainable transportation not only supports environmental conservation but also leads to long-term benefits, such as

  • Saving on expenses
  • Maintenance of infrastructure
  • Reduced government expenses on imported fuels
  • Decreased healthcare expenses due to improved air quality provide substantial financial benefits for public institutions.

Keep reading to discover how these strategies can foster positive change.

Reasons Why Electric Cars Are the Key to Better Days?

Before exploring electric vehicles (EVs), it is important to recognize the environmental impact of gasoline-powered cars. Sustain Life noted these vehicles are responsible for 41% of CO2 emissions in the transportation sector worldwide. This is primarily due to their release of carbon dioxide, greenhouse gases (GHGs), and harmful pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur oxides (SOx), which negatively impact air quality, public health, and the natural environment. In contrast, EVs do not emit GHGs, making them a cleaner and more sustainable transportation option.

Introducing EVs: Environmentally Friendly and Sustainable.

First, let’s look at the environmental benefits of EVs, Resources.org highlighted that incorporating plug-in electric vehicles, such as the plug-in variant of the Ford Escape, which features a gasoline engine and a sizable and large battery that can be charged from an external power source, into the US vehicle fleet would significantly enhance local air quality and climate throughout the vehicles’ lifetimes.

Therefore, transitioning from gasoline-powered vehicles to electric vehicles is an important step for protecting our environment and creating a sustainable transportation system. Adopting electric vehicles can greatly decrease harmful emissions and contribute to combating climate change.

But What is Reality?

Of course, we have to acknowledge that electric vehicles can still come with a high price, which is a significant barrier for many people. For electric cars to become widespread, we need to:

  • Invest and create additional affordable options
  • Supportive infrastructure
  • Improved government incentives and rebates

It is beneficial for the environment and the economy when vehicles for transportation become available and affordable.

CO₂ Emissions by Airline: The Dirtiest Carriers in the Sky.

Carbon Dioxide emissions is the biggest impact on climate changes .CO2 travels in the atmosphere more thousand years .The airlines aviation play sufficient role in the CO2 emissions .Climate change is becoming more challenging for the airlines industry therefore  Airlines aviation  mission Net-Zero emissions by 2050 where focus to reduce 65% CO2 through sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and working on the  New technology, electric and hydrogen , aircraft design ,infrastructure and operational  efficiencies ,offsets and carbon capture . A development program through  CORSIA   aims to compensate the current CO2 emissions until the proper availability of SAF by therefore supporting the other part of economy. https://www.istockphoto.com Flying in to the future: Net-Zero by 2050 Myth or Mission? History of innovation in Airlines over the century became futuristic invention.  Wilbur and Orville Wright   spend four years successfully made the world first a...

Waste to Wisdom- "How could we make our wardrobe more Sustainable?"

After knowing the dangerous impact and true cost of fast fashion Many people might ask “How could someone be more fashionable? “   or How can the fashion industry can grow when addressing the environmental need addressing the issue to buy fewer clothes.  The answer is simple- Buy when you need, mix the costume and Repeat.  After arising the awareness among people due to the climate change and the grown amount of waste a lot of people are questioning about their preference and a better way to purchase and the awareness rise mostly among the young generation. The fashion industry could contribute a huge for the change because we all are responsible for the waste that generate from the fashion industry directly and indirectly. But the problem is sustainability goes beyond the fewer clothes. We can not change the people mindset about buying clothes in day rather we could make people inspire or motivate them to contribute to save the planet. we can inform them this short-t...

The Dirty Truth About Microplastics "How Your Clothes Pollute the Planet"

  I never thought about what happens after I wash clothes. It's a routine thing to put some clothes in washing machine and turn the button on and then walk away.  But one day I stumbled upon a headline: "Your clothes are polluting the ocean." It sounded dramatic. But then I read more. Every time I washed my favourite hoodie which is made out of polyester I figured out I was releasing thousands of microplastic fibers into the water system. They were invisible. I couldn't see them, touch them, or pick them up. But they were there  and flowing into rivers, lakes, and the ocean. These microplastics, smaller than 5 mm, don't break down. They stay put. They float. They sink. They are eaten by fish, shellfish, and even birds. And eventually... us. It is estimated that synthetic textiles are responsible for a global discharge of between 0.2 and 0.5 million tonnes of microplastics into the oceans each year (Sherrington, 2016; Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2017 ). The s...
