  7. Car Activity Example This slide is a guide for you to do this activity with three cars of your choice.

  8. Discussion Questions • 1. How many pounds of CO2 would you save over ten years by buying the more efficient vehicle? • 2. Should cars that pollute more cost more? Why or why not? • 3. Why do you think SUVs are so popular with drivers today, given their low mileage and significant greenhouse gas emissions? • 4. What do you think would motivate drivers to buy cleaner, less-polluting vehicles instead? • 5. Should there be incentives for people to drive hybrids, such as being allowed in the HOV (high occupancy vehicles) lanes?
