As the world grapples with the pressing issue of climate change, it is evident that we need swift action to avert its worst impacts. One avenue to combat this crisis is a rapid reduction in carbon emissions from our daily transportation, one of the leading contributors of CO 2 emissions. Let’s not forget our carbon footprint.
