Article "The End of Car Culture" by Elizabeth Rosenthal shows us that "recent studies suggest that Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by." It is possible that this is partially because of the recession; many Americans could not afford cars. Also, more center cities have made the "suburbs less appealing and has drawn the empty nesters back in".  If this goes on, scientists believe carbon emissions could greatly reduce and this will be extremely benifical for the enviroment. According to the Mr. Sivak's research, less and less people between the age of 16-39 have been getting licenses. More studies have concluded the same results, but only time will tell in this trend will continue. No matter the reason behind it, this example also demonstrates how limited car usage is benificial.
