6. Combat Global Warming
Evidence is mounting that carbon emissions are contributing to ozone depletion, climate change, and global warming. ZAP vehicles can reduce CO2 emissions by more than 90 percent compared to internal combustion vehicles, even counting the emissions from fossil fueled power plants. The USA constitutes less than 10 percent of the world's population, but is responsible for almost 30 percent of the world's CO2 emissions.
7. Protect the Environment
Reducing fossil fuel consumption relieves pressure on our natural resources. It eliminates the need to explore for oil in environmentally sensitive habitats. Less automotive emissions means less toxic pollutants in our air, water, and soil. Less oil consumption reduces the risk of oil spills which can safeguard sensitive coastal regions and wildlife for future generations to enjoy.
8. Social Responsibility
ZAP users are leaders for advanced transportation. By using a ZAP vehicle, you make a statement about your values. All too often we feel helpless, feeling the world's problems are too big for just one person to solve on their own. However, as a consumer, we have the ultimate power in the products we purchase and in the vehicles we drive. Take action. Do the right thing. People will notice.
9. Fun
ZAP vehicles produce very little noise, vibration, and exhaust, offering a unique sensation compared to internal-combustion propulsion. Whisper quiet, smooth, fast-riding, experiencing a ZAP vehicle is an exhilarating feeling that you will never understand until you try it. For a free test ride, call today (707) 525-8658.
10. Protect our Future
What will happen if the world continues in this same direction? No one really knows. Of course, none of us may be around when or if the world runs out of oil, the polar icecaps melt, or the world is covered in another ice age. Perhaps it will be a technological paradise like many of us hope, but how can we control what sort of world our children and our grandchildren will inherit? It is up to us. In these challenging times, we need to make the right decisions to protect our world's treasures before they are lost forever. Join us.
