GROWING TOWARD THE FUTURE

ALTERNATIVE FUELS
The use of traditional fossil fuels is a major
cause of air pollution, concerning carbon
monoxide emissions, photochemical smog, toxic and
particulate emissions. Environmental problems are
becoming more and more urgent, exactly like
energy dependence.
pollution
energy
ecowareness
The use of alternative fuels reduces pollutants
and exhaust emissions. In addition, most of these
fuels can be domestically produced and derived
from renewable sources. Operating on alternative
fuels reduces dependency on shrinking oil
supplies and improve air quality.
