Car
Choices. The choice of what type of car to buy is clearly
one of the most important sustainability-related consumer choices
an individual makes. Businesses, government agencies, and organizations
of all kinds can likewise make a huge impact with their choice
of vehicles. See Betsy
Rosenberg, Jim
Motavalli, and Bill
Moore.
Efficient
Use of Cars. More efficient use of cars produces environmental
benefits similar to choosing more efficient types of cars. More
efficient use can include ridesharing, carsharing, trip planning,
and fuel-efficient driving habits. See Jim
Movavalli and Bill
Moore.
Biofuels
& Other Alternative Transportation Fuels. Biofuels are
growing rapidly, and they involve both promise and risk. They
include biodiesel, ethanol from corn, ethanol from other starchy
plants, cellulostic ethanol, and more. Plug in hybrids are opening
the door again to electricity as a transportation energy source,
and fuel cells offer the prospect of hydrogen and methane as
transportation fuels. Vehicles powered by compressed natural
gas (CNG) are also an option, especially for fleet owners. See
Josh Tickell,
Bill Moore, David
Blume, and Jim
Motavalli.
Alternative
Auto Technologies. This covers a wide range of evolving
technologies, including hybrids, plug-in hybrids, fuel cell
vehicles, natural gas powered vehicles, electric cars, and more.
