In response to Mark Stevens (24hrs, November 09), you should know that a new car is barely less polluting then an old one. Car pollution comes partly from emission, but also from the manufacturing of the car itself with parts being built here and there and assembled somewhere else then shipped to… you get the idea. If you buy a used car that might pollute a bit more then a new car, at least you won’t contribute to the pollution going into building the car itself. That being said, the best is to not use a car at all and use public transportation. But that is a whole different story.
