Easy Breathers
Pollution emissions from transportation are a major ingredient in global warming,
stratospheric ozone depletion, asthma, ground-level ozone (a.k.a., smog) formation
and other problems. We're responsible for these emissions. The way we choose
to get around today impacts our world tomorrow - the land, the water, and the
air. A group of high school students, teachers, and a professional video crew
got together to produce this site. So check it out, already!
