REDUCE YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT

By pioneerauto2008

For millennia, Nature has provided man with all the resources required for his development. However, man’s desire to satisfy his greed has caused exploitation of these natural resources, which ultimately compounds the environmental problems that already plague the planet. Over the past 100 years, excessive combustion of fossil fuels has played a major role in contributing to the currently skyrocketing air pollution levels. Legislations have been made and through the 1960s, 70s and 80s, America has witnessed the passing of a series of Clean Air Acts, directed at improving the despicable pollution scenario existing in the nation.

 

Increased air pollution specifically targets the very young, the very old, and those already in a weakened state. It leads to increased incidences of respiratory ailments like asthma and bronchitis, as well as severe diseases like lung and throat cancer.

It is up to every citizen of our planet to play his part in minimising the degrading effect that our activities have on the environment. Biocentrism rather than anthropocentricism should become the prevalent thought if the coming generations are to save this world from the inevitable destruction we are leading it into.

 

Charity begins at home and your chance to protect the environment begins with analysing your own carbon footprint. Studies have shown that the State of California is so polluted that the effects of its pollution are felt in Asia. Keeping this in mind, the California Bureau of Automotive Repair has prescribed biennial Smog Checks to be carried out on vehicles designated as “polluting”. Pioneer Auto Service, San Ramon, CA, carries out these authorised Smog Checks, in an effort to encourage more people to conform to the ruling. They also provide car repair services for most makes including Toyota, Honda, Ford, Jaguar, BMW, and Mercedes among others, as well as tire change services and spare auto parts.
