Ecologists in Action recently released a comprehensive study which shows that all-terrain vehicles not due to sustainability criteria. That is, the jeep, 4x4, the 'truck' as they say in Venezuela, are a serious threat to the environment, because there are more common in urban environments and the amount of waste and emissions generated are greater than the other vehicles. Again
reaction to an old problem late. Every day in Spain sold thousands of cars in this category, and advertising that makes them is based on identifying the owners of these large ships with wheels as an individual or individuals involved and close to natural spaces, modern adventurers, people who landscape and inhospitable looking away from where the city and its "treacherous" conditions. But what a paradox, the equation yields an unexpected result: the regular user of the road (in cities) is often a kind of affluent, urban, barely out of their city limits, and that is 'dirty' rather little in the mud of the roads.
And there lies the real problem. The dilemma is that these cars are bad for the health of the planet, but think it is their use regulated which is wrong. If utility, needed to work in rural areas (still sold the Land Rover Santana, well suited in the field) have become real assets luxury consumption, and its use, unconscious and selfish, smoke-filled cities, the air of negative emissions because they are heavier and more powerful.
The solution is complicated. An extra tax, as envisaged will put little or nothing to reduce the sale of such cars. Who can spend 30 or 35 thousand euros in a 4x4, do stop to think that budding few hundred euros a year limit "the taste you feel when driving? It is not supposed to. The municipalities should be to limit their use in urban precincts: "In this city can not move 4x4, no bumpy enough," would be a good slogan. Would you seem unreasonable? Or perhaps, can navigate liners for swimming pools?
