How does driving cars affect the environment?
The major problem is they add heat, CO2, carbon monoxide and other pollutants to the air, adding to the global warming problem and air pollution generally. Making and driving them uses up energy stocks, especially petroleum, and not all of cars can be recycled at the end of their useful life (although this is improving) Of course, they require paved roads, which covers up a lot of potentially useful farmland, and in northern climates the salting of roads kills roadside plants and other species. Also, the asbestos or metallic dust from brake linings and pads isn't great.
