I chose it because I wanted to do my bit to help the environment, and because while everyone around me seems to want to be more environmentally friendly, they don't seem to have any information on what is actually happening, what actions of ours are having a negative impact, and what we have to start doing right now in order to have any chance of stopping negative trends. Doing this topic could help me investigate a specific part, but major contributor, to the things happening to our natural environment, help me understand the relative weight of the carbon and pollution, and also what we can actually do as individuals, and what the government should be doing right now. Electric cars also seemed like it would be more unique than doing another beach cleanup CP, and it appealed to me because of the science and engineering behind electric cars, and also because they seem to be the new hyped up fad nowadays.
