We know that driving less reduces air pollution. But there's another way to help out： drive green cars.
Green here means new energy. The green cars either use less gas,or no gas at all. Some of them use electricity. So they produce less air pollution.
More and more people are willing to take them,because every kilometer they travel means a reduction in PM 2. 5 emissions. You have probably seen many in the street.
Many cities and regions will promote the use of green cars. If a person buys a new energy car,the government will give him or her some money back.
But still,many people don’t want green cars. Green cars need to charge regularly. It takes one and a half hours to charge an electric car,but this only allows the car to drive 200 km. Also,you can’T charge green cars at home. You have to drive them to a special charging station.
But,think about the air pollution. Maybe the trouble is worth it.
