    Electric vehicles will start to cut emissions and improve air quality in our cities – but only once they’re common

    Electric vehicles are often seen as the panacea to cutting emissions – and air pollution – from transport. Is this view correct? Yes – but only once uptake accelerates. Despite the recent boom in EV purchases, they’re still a tiny minority of the cars on the road. We would get more immediate benefit by focusing on electrifying buses, which are a surprisingly large source of air pollution, and finding ways to cut rapidly growing emissions from diesel trucks. While the electricity sector still produces the largest share of emissions in Australia (32.3%), emissions are falling. But emissions from transport (21.1%)…

    It can be frustrating when strawberries begin spoiling after only a few days, but it turns out you may be storing these fruits the wrong way.
