Easy Breathers
Pollution emissions from transportation are a major ingredient in global
warming, stratospheric ozone depletion, asthma, ground-level ozone (a.k.a.,
smog) formation and other problems. We're responsible for these emissions.
The way we choose to get around today impacts our world tomorrow - the land,
the water, and the air. A group of high school students, teachers, and a
professional video crew got together to produce this site. So check it out,
already!
