Transportation
The world demand for petroleum exceeds the long term supply. Most petroleum is used for transportation. Can global warming be slowed without drastic life-style changes? Achieving sustainability requires innovative thinking on transportation. A seminar from Environmental Teaching International may include:
Current transportation patterns
The promise of electric and plug-in hybrid cars
The role of ultra light vehicles
The possibilities of Personal Rapid Transit (PRT)
The role of autonomous vehicles
Transition paths to sustainability
