We all use vehicles for going from one place to another, either for shopping , visiting relatives , hanging out with friends and all other things .
we seem to make others happy by paying visit to them , but actually some one is unhappy with us .
Yes , our ENVIRONMENT.
we continue to make ROADS , and run vehicles over it. The United States contains over 4 million miles of roadways and an estimated 20% of land in the country is impacted by the presence of roads.

when these animals cross the roads , mortality is the result. When the road is constructed through animal habitat, chances of animal mortality is more. . For example, Highway 27 in Florida that passes over a lake inhabited by many turtles has been shown to have very high turtle mortality rates and be one of the most dangerous roads for wildlife in the country

apart from direct mortality , the roads restrict the movement of many animals which turns away from roads . This happens mainly to snakes and short flying birds . this restriction has the great effect on animal habitat , one of the main effect is the prevention of gene flow. For example, in timber rattlesnakes, a study of genetics at hibernacula showed that in hibernacula that were blocked off by roads, genetic diversity was lower than in those that occurred across contiguous habitats.

Happy you, cause you don't use highway often, so , I have no hand in all this .let me tell you that our traffic is one of the large consumer of energy. that means one of the large cause of pollution is traffic. Traffic burns most of the petroleum of the world and causes air pollution.

we all hate this sound . noise pollution is also one of the effect of traffic . though there are traffic regulations for noise pollution . but we seem to be careless. There are few controls available to control general noise from vehicles whilst they are on the highway. This includes not only moving vehicles, but those which are standing or parked on the highway. However, it is sometimes possible to pursue complaints relating to persistent engine idling, revving, horns or music coming from particular vehicles whilst on the road.

Climate change is the sum total impact of several natural and human-made factors. 15% of global CO2 emissions are attributed to the transport sector.
