Ionel delivers packages by
car, Georgel uses his bike with the same purpose. Ionel's car generates
an average of 200g of CO2 / km while Georgel's lungs produce 300g
of CO2 per day. Assuming both of them cover 50 km/day during their 8-hour
working schedule, find out the quantity of CO2 produced per year. Diminish
pollution, by replacing Ionel's car with Georgel's bike.
A.I have no clue about CO2 and I don't really
care about it!
B. Well, but Ionel will deliver my package cheaper!
C. How many tons!?
Note: don't forget to take into consideration the CO2 quantity from
Ionel's lungs! He breathes too, maybe a little less than Georgel who
is in motion.
Don't forget to consider the effect of other emissions on the lungs
of the inhabitants of Timisoara (nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, sulphur
oxides, various hydrocarbons resulted from partially burnt fuel). For
