text: Are we Americans causing most of our issues with gasses from cars?  Luckily no.  "Recent studies suggest that Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by."  As said by Elisabeth Rosenthal, the writer of the passage "The End of Car Culture" which go's into whether car numbers are increasing or decreasing, and whats in the future for it.  She says that it seems like America has gone down, and pasted the peak on cars.  While you might counter, "Thats just the economy effecting how everyone spends their money and cars werent at the top."  But people who stopped because of the recession may have no reason to restart that habit.
