Lab 13: Global Warming Tickets

SUVs have long been known for their gas-guzzling quality, but unfortunately, this characteristic does not seem to have done anything to discourage consumers from buying them. In the United States, SUVs can be found everywhere, and quite often, I get the feeling that American consumers purchase cars with the "bigger the better" mindset. In this lab, we printed out "Global Warming Violation" tickets and placed them on the windshields of SUVs. The tickets display facts about SUVs' contributions to global warming, and efforts that SUV owners should make to help solve the problem. The purpose of the tickets was to make the SUV owners think about the environment and their contribution to its deterioration. Hopefully the tickets have encouraged the owners to choose a more environmentally friendly car the next time the purchase a vehicle. -Michele
