Vehicles that aren't electric and don't use clean fuel damage the environment and cause health problems. Use as much clean transportation as possible. Clean transportation is anything you use to get around that produces less carbon emissions than normal cars. UNIT 11 You can still do that, but your vehicle needs to be either electric or use clean fuel. Electric vehicles are cars that you connect to the electricity supply at a charging station and that gives the car the power it needs to move. Using electricity means that no dangerous carbon emissions come out of the car when you drive it. By 2030, there will be so many electric vehicles that we will use much less oil every day than we do now. You can still use clean transportation. Find out if you can travel by train, bus, or bike instead of by car and do that if you can. More and more town and cities now have bike lanes to make it easier for people to ride their bikes. If you really need to travel by car, try carpooling. Find a friend or relative who wants to go to the same place as you and ask if you can drive there with them. Carpooling can reduce the number of cars on the roads by about 20%, which help lower carbon emissions. Read and listen to the text again.
