The concept of sustainability has been strongly reinforced in recent years as our environment have been severely abused due to increased pollution and unsustainable practices. Many businesses have adopted the environmentally-friendly concept of practicing sustainability in order to preserve our natural resources for the future generation.
Recently, the Honda Civic Natural Gas has won the 2012 Green Car of the Year award. Fueled by natural gas, the Civic Natural Gas offers greater fuel efficiency as the natural gas is a clean fuel that costs 30% less than gasoline.
As mentioned in Class 14, every company is striving to develop green technology. The use of natural gas in Honda Civic’s green car of the year is beneficial to the environment because natural gas is a much cleaner gas as opposed to the fossil fuel used in most cars today. Natural gas releases fewer emissions such as sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen oxides that may contribute to acid rain, global warming, and urban smog. With car companies competing to produce cars that emit the least pollution, consumers can enjoy their luxury goods while maintaining the environment’s natural resources.
