North Shore Express is working to procure eco-friendly transportation vehicles to reduce the number of cars on Kauai roads and help clean up the environment.

According to a recent article “eco-ratings for cars: all things (finally) considered” published by green economist Ken Stokes on SusHI (Hawaii Sustainability blog), a respected consultancy in Britain has undertaken the first ‘life cycle’ assessment of our current choices among eco-friendly transportation vehicles.

The bottom line is this: big cuts in our transport emissions (of a magnitude that is commensurate with our urgent need to reduce) will take radical steps.

For example, it’s not enough to drive an electric car. You must also recharge your batteries from renewable sources.

If you do this, your transport footprint will shrink by 80%…And that’s with no reduction in miles traveled.
