Anyone who thinks they are going to make a difference by abstaining from driving their car is woefully misinformed.
We have cargo ships right now that are burning dirty oil and producing massive amounts of pollution. It has been estimated that just one of these container ships, the length of around six football pitches, can produce the same amount of pollution as 50 million cars.
