Cleaner Transportation, Powered with Natural Gas

 Public transportation in the US consumes a large part of fuel that comes into the country. Some cities such as Los Angeles decided to move away from using fossil fuel to use "natural gas" which is the result of diseased animals and vegetables, to improve and make the public transportation cleaner. As the article mentions "Reducing emissions while saving on fuel costs. Since converting to natural gas, officials estimate that they have cut the release of particulates from the bus fleet by 80 percent and greenhouse gases by about 300,000 pounds each day." What this means is that using natural gas as a resource not only makes the transportation cleaner but saves up to 20% on fuel. Large amounts of natural gas can be found in the US. Thanks to this resource, the prices for public transportation are improving across the entire nation. The extraction of natural gas and the construction of natural gas power plants can also ruin the soil less than coal and oil extraction do, which allows the land to recover more easily.
