Đáp án

In terms of making the biggest difference in improving environmental sustainability, driving electric cars could be one of the most impactful changes. First, electric cars produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles that run on fossil fuels. By switching to electric vehicles, individuals can significantly reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to mitigating climate change. Second, electric cars can be powered by electricity generated from renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power. By driving electric vehicles, individuals can indirectly support the expansion of renewable energy infrastructure, further reducing reliance on fossil fuels and promoting a transition to cleaner energy sources. Last, electric vehicles produce zero tailpipe emissions, which helps improve air quality and reduce air pollution in urban areas. By reducing emissions of pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and volatile organic compounds, electric cars can contribute to better respiratory health and overall environmental quality.
