Life Cycle Analysis

Traffic Study

 As mentioned in David Attenborough's video, humans and greenhouse gases have a major impact on the climate change. Vehicles are also a huge concern towards global warming, yet cars and trucks produce 30 percent of global warming. During my traffic study, I sat on the corner of Coleman Avenue and College Street. I recored the number of occupants in each vehicle, age of the vehicle, size of the vehicle, and if it was a car or truck. I noticed that majority of the cars obtained one person. Instead of having one person drive, people should consider carpooling more to allow greater conservation. The age of the car was about half. Most vehicles run on oil fuels which are non-renewable. The emissions of these cars exert these greenhouses gases out into the environment. Majority of the vehicles I saw were medium and smaller vehicles. Also, most of the vehicles I saw were cars rather than trucks. Using less oil is ideal for our environment to be more sustainable. Hybrids and electric vehicles are highly encourage to prevent these problems. Lastly, some of the roads can be expanded to allow more cars to transport more efficiently and quickly. Many locations that have traffic are bad for sustaining the climate, and have a huge affect on global warming due to its gases.

Below is my table:
