But the main reason of why I chose this question is not about the undeniable need to move the masses, but the consequences of moving them the way they are being moved. My objectives are 1) to know what people think about conventional transportation and the pollution it generates 2) to find out what people think about eco-friendly transportation and about the idea of getting it into the country, 3) to find out what the government plans to do about the pollution generated by conventional transportation and to discover if eco-friendly transportation is one of their solutions 4) to encourage the development of cleanly energy powered cars in the national territory, 5) to endure people to understand that eco-friendly energized transportation methods are the future of transportation, 6) to make people realize that transportation methods fueled with fossil fuels are nothing but poisonous for the environment and our
