Motor vehicles are a major source of carbon monoxide: 65% of emissions in OECD countries are from cars! They are also directly linked to global warming, and because of their dependency on oil, they are also linked to all the political, economic, environmental and social instabilities related to oil extraction. Sometimes we cannot avoid using motor vehicles to get around, but each time we choose walking over driving we are all doing our part to reduce the negative effect of motor vehicles on our world.
