Social and culture aspects:
o Instead of driving a car for a short journey it would be better to walk or jog, this may help us to improve our health too as well as improving our air quality.
o It is useful to encourage people to share car (car pooling).
o Driving fast may produce more carbon dioxide than when traveling slowly.
o Buses must always maintain a good standard of services
o Taxies should reconsider the payment for there services
o
Infrastructure, Governance and Legal aspects:
o Give the Department of Land Transport more authority to do they job
o Allow the department to be able to produce more laws that can help do there work efficiently
o More cooperation need from people
o Early education about global warming can help
Economical aspects:
o Hybrid cars are work by using both fuel and battery hence less fuel is used therefore less combustion of carbon dioxide into the air.
o Solar power cars
o Hydrogen fuel cars
o It is comment sense that Carbon Dioxide emission can be reduce if a lot of people use busses rather than their own car.
o
Environmental aspects:
o Carbon dioxide is taken up by tress or plants in a process called photosynthesis. All the trees that have been cut should be replanted back.
o Many people now pay to offset their carbon emission.
o Cars manufacturer nowadays have to follow the emission standard which every cars manufacturer agree
o Currently the cars manufacturers are following the Stage III (Euro 3) standards. It would come in force preferably from April 1, 2008, but not later than April 1, 2010.
Some of the plans that we thought were:
1. write a suggestion letters
a. to the Department of Land Transport
i. car inspections need to be done frequently
ii. driving instructors can teach their students also about how to reduce global warming impact caused by cars practically
b. to the Ministry of Education
i. suggesting the insertion carbon emissions and global warming in schools and colleges for example, lesson plan for teachers and topics about global warming caused by cars could be inserted in the students’ learning.
c. to the University
i. to propose the use of car pool amongst lecturers and student in UBD. We propose that any cars with less than 3 persons in a car to not be allowed to enter UBD campus. It can minimize some problems such as limited parking
ii. Other suggestion that we would like to propose is providing buses for students and lecturers.
2. We could write a letter of opinion to the Borneo Bulletin, Brunei Times and Media Permata about how vehicles increase global warming in Brunei and the possible solutions that can be taken in future by the public.
