text: In German Suburb, Life goes on without cars written by Elisabeth Rosenthal; she is explaining how in Vauban,Germany is a "car-free" city and if you own a car owership you would have to pay a lot of money just for a space in your home for you car. Elisabeth has eclaimed that " Car ownership is allowed, but there are only two places to park-large garages at the edge of the development, where a car-owner buys a space, for $40,000, along with a home". This quote is showing how by owning your own car can cause too much money in a place that doen'st allow cars but when they do allow cars, you have to pay double of the price of a normal car. There is also something else that is interesing that Elisabeth has also stated: "Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe... and up to 50 percent in some car- intensive areas in the United States". This quote is showing us that cars waste too much gas and it goes up into our greenhouse and it is destroying our planet. If the percent number keeps going up, our earth can be harmful.
