World Engineering Day Focuses on Shaping a Sustainable Future

Cars That Think

Furthermore, air and water pollution, deforestation, and soil degradation are causing significant harm. Air pollution kills about 7 million people annually, with 99 percent of the global population breathing unhealthy air, according to the World Health Organization. One-third of the planets land is already severely damaged.
