Green Transportation

Per capita, Americans drive 45 percent more than we did in 1980, and thanks to the SUV craze, many of us are driving less fuel-efficient cars.

Car dependency in the US, especially our dependence on large gas guzzlers, is at the heart of a host of social, human health, and environmental problems, from increased asthma rates and obesity to global warming.

Green America provides you with the information and strategies you need to green your transportation choices to help create healthier lifestyles and a sustainable environment.
