During the last days, we have been working with Excel measuring the amount of fuel we waste every day, week, and year. We measured the amount of fuel our cars, dreamed cars, and hybrid cars use. There is a variation in Liters/Km. between the cars, but all waste fuel. We also measured the amount of fuel wasted by alternative means of transportation. If we multiply the amount of cars in Puerto Vallarta and the amount of fuel each wastes, that's a lot of fuel. Hybrid cars are better than normal cars because they can use electric energy as a fuel. They also are made from organic products.
After looking at the huge oil spill, I realized that the use of fuels is very dangerous for the environment. During the worst oil spill 464 sea turtles and 60 dolphins were found dead at the spill area. The owners of the BP are trying to clean this mess up, but it is a huge quantity they spilled up, 190 millions gallons of oil in three months.
I wan to have my own car but I know it will harm the environment. It would be nice to have one but after I remember this events I prefer to wait until I really need it.
