Joyce PolanceFrom Great Lakes WikiCool Globes artist: Joyce Polance Clean, green driving is here! Trucks and other diesel-powered vehicles can run cleanly on biodiesel, which is made from animal fat or vegetable oil, and produces up to 75 percent fewer carbon dioxide emissions than fossil fuels. New hybrids that will get 100 miles to the gallon are on the way. These plug-in hybrid electric vehicles are powered through wall sockets and have the potential to produce zero globewarming emissions. Gasoline-electric hybrid cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, and trains are also available. By painting the vehicles on her globe a vibrant green, Joyce Polance represents the importance and potential of Earth-friendly transportation, including great technological advances, and simpler successes, like carpooling. Employing cheery graphics and lots of color, Polance aims to inspire both children and adults to make their dream car a green car. Globe Sponsor: Abbott |
