Alternative Fuel Vehicles The Earth is dying. Every living thing in the ecosystem plays a role in preserving nature. Even if one of these species neglects its responsibilities, the entire system shuts down; therefore, every creature is connected and cannot be separated from each other. Despite all this, the human race considers itself the king of the jungle. They are greedy, careless and ignorant. Because of man, the oceans are becoming dirty, natural resources are diminishing and the air is becoming intoxicating. Although the earth is becoming a living hell, it is not too late to save it; with logical and creative solutions the earth could survive. One of the most promising solutions to save the Earth is perhaps the use of cars with alternative fuels. Although alternative fuel cars are not very common at the moment, statistics and new research show that alternative fuel can be one of the crucial factors in restoring harmony to nature. “There were more than one billion vehicles in use worldwide in 2011, compared to more than 83 million alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles sold or converted worldwide as of December 2013” ​​(Sousanis). Every year more and more people prefer to purchase alternative fuel vehicles to make an impact on the environment. An alternative fuel vehicle can be, generally, defined as a vehicle that runs on an alternative fuel rather than “traditional oil”. While not all alternatively fueled vehicles are petroleum-free, the primary goal of producing alternatively fueled vehicles is to eliminate petroleum from the regulatory framework. Oil is a toxic and carcinogenic material; It is known to cause leukemia and lower white blood cell counts in humans. Furthermore, it plays an important role in climate change... in the center of the card... the road. With some improvements and support, CAVs can be the saviors of the human race. This doesn't mean that other alternatively fueled vehicles are useless; any alternative fuel is better than fossil fuel; while, to get the most out of our world and protect it, using and improving CAVs is our best option.
