To breath and die: since when are they synonymous?

Right let’s see… Where to start? Let´s go back to 1824 because that’s when something changed our lives forever: the first motor vehicle – better know as a car – was created and went out on the street. With time, the car was improved in the outside (and the inside, thanks to God!) but also what it uses to run ranging from water vapour to fuel.

What do we know about fuel? A lot and not much really. In my case, some time ago, fuel (unleaded, gas, premium) was just what my car needed to take me on the roads of my town and around. Today it’s not just this anymore. Situation changed and I’d lie to sahre with you what I know about it. I really hope what follows will surprise you as much as it did suprise me and will make you decide to act now because now isn’t the time to read, be surprised but still keep on doing business as usual. Let’s stop thinking what is the best and let’s implement what can already work. Some of them have always existed but our comfort and worldwide interests have made us put aside.

Here we go… Since when to breath should be something harmful? (see Health vs Oil)

Environmental contamination has increased mostly in the last few years and make it one of the biggest problems humanity is now facing. The 5 places that catch the most the attention are: Pekín, México city, Río de Janeiro, Seoul and Shangai. However most of the cities have problems with air pollution.In 1998, a study conducted by the WHO (World Health Organisation) showed that 600 million people lived i urban areas where levels of sulfur dioxide are higher than the authorized limit and more than 1.250 million lived in cities with frightening levels of particules in the air.
 
Today we know that:

Most cars run on gasoline or diesel. These are derived from petroleum, more usually called oil. Globally, motor vehicles use one third of the world's oil—finding oil involves habitat loss, oil spills, air and water pollution, large emissions of carbon dioxide, regular humanitarian abuses and wars.
