    Transport Research and Consider Switching to a Hybrid or Electric Vehicle
    Reducing (or eliminating) exhaust emissions and improving public health are two benefits of green vehicles. What other motivators inspire you to consider switching to a more fuel-efficient vehicle?

    The more people that convert, the more affordable and accessible these vehicles will become.

    I am still assessing balance of driving an older gas vehicle, that's fairly efficient with the environmental impact of buying a newly made car. Anyone have good tips/resources for assessing the impact of manufacturing?
