    I use the bus to go to my sailing practice along with a lot of other students. Using the bus makes me feel better about myself, because I feel like I am helping the world get better.

    Gasoline comes from oil in the Earth and pollutes the Earth. Vehicles that don't use it reduce the need for it. My father has a Tesla which does not need gasoline.

    Carbon releases gasses that are bad for humans when it is used for fire. I want to be able to breathe clean air and reduce pollution in our atmosphere.

    A bus can take a large amount of people instead of those people going in their own vehicle. One bus reduces a lot of gas.
