Emissions
A typical passenger vehicle emits about 4.6 metric tons of CO₂ per year. Assuming it lasts 10 years, that's 46 metric tons of CO₂ per car, in addition to the emissions from manufacturing, which can be about 10 metric tons before the car even hits the road. That's a total of 56 metric tons of CO₂ per car.
Other Concerns
Car-centric cities are less efficient than cities that are designed around public transportation. Moving away from cars can help make it easier for people to get around.
