Each
year there is an increasing number of cars on roads and streets as millions of
new cars and trucks are produced. One out of every six Americans works at
putting together the parts of cars, driving trucks, building roads or filling
cars and trucks with gas. Americans won't live without cars!
Most
Americans would find it hard to think what life would look like without cars.
However, some have realized the serious problems of the air pollution that is
caused by the car. The polluted air becomes poisonous and dangerous to health.
One
way to get rid of the polluted air is to build a car that does not pollute.
That's what several of the large car factories have been trying to do. But to
build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been
slow.
Another
way is to take the place of the car engine by something else. Inventors are now
working on steam cars as well as electric cars. Many makers believe that it
will take years to develop a practical model that pleases man.
To
prevent the world from being polluted by cars, we'll have to make some changes
in the way many of us live. Americans, for example, are encouraged to travel
and go to work by bicycle. Bicycling is thought to help keep the air clean.
But
this change does not come easily. A large number of workers may find themselves
without jobs if a car factory closes down. Thus the problem of air pollution
would become less important than that of unemployment.
Although
cars have led us to a better life, they have also brought us new problems.
