text: The amount of people between the ages of 16-39 have become less interested in getting their license, or it just isn't a priority for them. The older generations nowadays have been know to kee their licenses and continue heir driving. If the decrease of driver's licenses continues, there will be multiple benefits for the environment and for carbon emissions. Automobile transportation is the second greatest source of America's carbon emmisions. The only factor that is ahead of this is power plants. Most people who live in the suburbs have a car, becuase they believe that this is the only way to get around. There are, in fact, lots of other options, and this is only harming our environment because the cars that most people own are held accountable for 12% of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe. In the United States, however. it is about four times worse. In the areas of the United States where there are a high number of cars, they are responsible for 50% of greenhouse gas emissions. If these percentages can be reduced by using other versions of transprtation besides cars, our world will be a much healthier place and it will live to be a lot longer.
