[IERW #3] The Hybrid Car for Earth and Future Generations

Due to continuous development, the environmental pollution problem of the Earth is getting worse. Thus, many governments have made various domestic and international efforts. Most focusing is on efforts to reduce Carbon emissions by limiting vehicle using. Because greenhouse gases from cars are making air pollution worse on Earth. Such air pollution can also cause environmental problems such as global warming. In addition, Petroleum and Gasoline used in automobiles are limited, so there is a problem that cannot satisfy future generations' needs. So, we have to use hybrid cars as a solution for the problem of air pollution and resource depletion on Earth

Many companies have launched several low-pollution vehicles as a part of their carbon emissions regulations. Among them, 'hybrid cars' running on electric motors and small engines have the lowest CO2 emissions. The hybrid car is a vehicle that has two or more engines together. Generally, the internal combustion engine and the battery engine are installed at the hybrid car. In other words, because it has a gasoline or diesel engine and an electric engine, it can reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, etc. up to 90% compared with general automobiles. According to the Hybrid car released by Hyundai Motor Company, it has reduced CO2 emissions by about 28%, which is equivalent to the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by 1200 trees of 30-year-old pines. Therefore, modern people who are inevitable to use automobiles should use hybrid cars as an alternative and solve the problem of global warming by reducing carbon emissions.

Hybrid cars solve not only air pollution problems but also resource exhaustion problems. Hybrid cars are also famous for their advanced fuel economy. When the hybrid stopped, the ignition is automatically turned off, preventing fuel loss in standby mode. In addition, when the engine is switched on, it uses a battery engine rather than an internal combustion engine, so that it is more energy efficient than regular cars. This high fuel economy reduces the use of petroleum, so we can pass down more resources to future generations. Therefore, we must use hybrid cars to solve the resource depletion problem.

Like this, hybrid cars are a good alternative to air pollution and resource depletion. Therefore, a government have to encourage more people to use hybrid cars by various way. For example, economic benefits such as discount tolls, public parking lots, and so on must be provided to hybrid car users because hybrid cars are more expensive than regular cars. Also, many countries offer these benefits, yet, governments must strive to provide more benefits as a reward for environmental protection.

To reduce pollution, the best thing is to use public transportation, bicycles, etc. However, if you inevitably need a car because the modern people cannot help using these days, what about try to use hybrid cars, which are green vehicles, instead of ordinary cars to pass down a better global environment and more resources to future generations. Although promoting the use of hybrid cars can be challenging for both the government and users, this should be mandatory, not optional.
