Essay / The Environmental and Protection Agency - 586
Global warming is the rapid increase in the Earth's average temperature due to the effects of greenhouse gases, such as the burning of fossil fuels, emissions of carbon dioxide carbon or deforestation, known to prevent heat from escaping. the Earth. Collected carbon dioxide and other air pollutants in the atmosphere similarly act as a barrier that traps heat from the sun, causing global warming. Due to air pollution, it contributes to global warming and also affects air quality. Thanks to the actions of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), EPA is able to continue reducing our greenhouse gas emissions and improving air quality. With the help of the EPA, the EPA aims to develop standards for greenhouse gas emissions. gas from stationary and transportation sources under the Clean Air Act. As part of the Clean Air Act, EPA and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) are working to develop requirements to stop greenhouse gas emissions from new motor vehicles to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide. The EPA also develops standards to ensure that transportation fuel sold in the United States contains a minimum amount of renewable fuel. As for stationary stations, the EPA works to minimize carbon pollution emitted by power plants. With these actions, the EPA's intention is to reduce carbon pollution. The EPA will help improve air quality by working to produce new, clean vehicles that have reduced greenhouse gas emissions and efficient fuel use. These measures are expected to save more than six billion barrels of oil by 2025 and minimize more than 3,100 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions. As for the Renewable Fuel Standards (RFS) Program, by 2022, 138 million tonnes of greenhouse gases will be reduced by replacing approximately 7% of annual conventional diesel consumption and reducing oil imports by $41.5 billion. Additionally, on September 20, 2013, the EPA and President Obama's Climate Action Plan were stated to aim to reduce carbon pollution from power plants. EPA's proposed carbon pollution standards for new power plants built in the future are engaged with states, stakeholders and the public to create a carbon pollution standard for existing power plants. In conclusion, the EPA is working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by improving the efficiency of power plants and vehicles. As a result, it will benefit individuals who save money on gasoline, improve air quality, promote green technology jobs, and reduce millions of amounts of harmful greenhouse gas emissions...
