From the simplest thing, choose a bicycle instead of a car, and limit travel by transport, if possible, or choose electric cars. There are not many ways to reduce emissions. More questions to factories and power plants of course.

I would totally agree, it is way better to use bicycle rather than a public transport or a car if it is in ability.

I disagree. Choose a car rather than a bicycle. I mean, nobody chooses a bicycle... percentage-wise, it's almost nobody. So, if you choose a bicycle, you have to breathe harder to pedal. The result is that you take in more smog into your lungs. Then you die from smog poisoning faster.

Cool

but if you choose a car over a bicycle then the air will be more polluted, and you breathe that air so you will die anyways

Engines are more refined nowadays so the gas emissions which pollute the air get controlled in a huge percentage.

By the way we are moving to next generation cars which are electric and doesn't harm the air anymore so why we need bicycle when we have Tesla supercars. Cheesy

Yabut. It's government regulation of emissions that are causing higher emissions. If there were no government regulation, the car companies would bow to demands of the people. Why would they bow to the people? Competition. Sales. The people would only want cars that get rid of smog. So, the company that made the most smog-less car would get the most sales.

How are gov regs stopping this? Gov regs aren't clean enough. But they stop the car companies from going ahead and cleaning up their cars more, because the companies are required to use gov regs which are bad. So, gov is causing more pollution.

Cool

Governments changing the regulations for emission from the vehicles every year so they are bit slow but at some point they also approve the electrical car project when there is no oil to mine and no more tax from selling fuel so they will put huge taxes for the electricity later and will suck the people's money. Cheesy
