\ Car companies are well aware of thefact that the 700 million vehicles on roadsacross the globe are causing destructionto the ecosystem on a massive scale.The demand for private transport is ona constant increase; only 5% of the USpopulation uses public transport, despiteof having to collectively spend 8 billion hours stuck in traffic and the adverse effectit has on our bodies. However, the automobile industry is beginning to listen to itsmore environmentally conscious consumers. Around the turn of the century, thepopularity of hybrid cars, which are dramatically less harmful to our health andthe environment, began to take off.Contrary to popular belief, hybrids are not new technology; they have beenaround for well over a century.

The health care costs that are accrued by peopledeveloping such conditions as acute respiratory problems, asthma and cancer-related illnesses amount to US$60 billion every year.
