text: Limiting car usage in the world would most definitely reduce the amount of pollution that is ruining our ozone layer. If it wasn't for the ozone layer humans would be long gone and wouldn't come back any time soon. In Paris, France, the goverment enforced a partial driving ban because of the near-record pollution. "On Monday motorists with even - numbered license plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or suffer a 22-euro fine. The same would apply to odd-numbered plates the following day." (Duffer, 11) After five days of partial driving, congestion was down an incredible 60 percent. What if after five days they kept going? The city would look and feel brand knew and it would be safe for citizens  to breathe the air.  Similarily, our very own President Obama is trying to curb the United Sates' greenhouse gas emissions. " As of April 2013, the number of miles driven per person was nearly 9 percent below the peak and equal to where the country was in January 1995." (Rosenthal 32) This means that people are choosing better ways to get from place A to place B, and if this trend persists ".. it will have beneficial implications for carbon emissions and the environment..." (Rosenthal 34) As you can see, there is hard eveidence that limiting car usage in the world would reduce the amount of pollution.
