Ford Focus and CO2

Despite being behind the other five major automobile dealers in the world in fuel efficiency, Ford has recently released a new car in Europe that can travel 62 miles per gallon. The new Focus gets 62 mpg, and only emits just 99 grams of CO2 per kilometer. There is no major technological breakthrough behind this car but rather the developers only tweaked the regular gas engine a bit.

When I saw this particular article I decided to use it as my current event because it dealt directly with the global warming problem by limiting the amounts of CO2 released by cars into the environment. It also helps to conserve fossill fuels by using less gasoline to travel greater distances. overall this is a large step towards a more environmentally friendly world where keeping the environment safe doesn't mean you have to stay at home with the lights off.

  2. This is an interesting article. Even though it's not a major change, it still really helps the environment. Any little bit is worth it and good. This makes it so less greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere. It helps with the global warming issue and is a great step forward in addressing global warming.
