Transportation emissions are gases released into the air that come from fossil fuels. The gases emit CO₂, which is not only a green house gas but one the most emitted gases. Transportation emissions are one of the biggest contributors to emitting CO₂ since everyone needs transportation. Along with Carbon Dioxide, Nitrous Oxide is also another gas emitted from transportation such as cars.^[1] There are some ways to reduce your transportation emissions such as, driving less, or driving a more fuel efficient car ^[2]
