How we all contribute every day
Cars, buses, and trucks are the principal ways by which
goods and people are transported in most of our cities.
These are run mainly on petrol or diesel, both fossil
fuels.
We generate large quantities of waste in the form of
plastics that remain in the environment for many years
and cause damage.
