Abstract

Despite the increasingly stringent emission regulations, the purity of the ecological environment is deteriorating day by day. The situation is much worse in the case of large cities or urban agglomerations. The increasing number of vehicles powered by internal combustion engines causes an increase in carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere. The situation is even worse when factors related to heating of residential buildings, which in Poland are still mostly heated with boilers powered by hard coal are added to the increasing number of vehicles. The combination of these factors causes that the condition of air in Polish cities is the worst since the records of its state began to be maintained. It is not easy to solve such a difficult situation. This problem should be solved on many levels. One of them is to educate young people according to ecological guidelines. The task of the Greenpower Poland Charity is to conduct workshops and lectures for young people. These lectures are related to the direct environmental and educational activities of the charity. The workshops are aimed at the construction of electric vehicles, which, thanks to common constructional features and common regulations, can compete in electric car races organized by the global organization which is Greenpower. The paper titled “Alternative ways to reduce carbon dioxide emissions - the main objectives of the Greenpower Polska charity” raises problems related to the environmental problems that in the long run can be reduced by proper preventive action consisting in raising awareness of young people and reaffirming them in ecological ideas.
