Automobile dependency

Automobile dependency means people rely too much on cars for transportation. Cars pollute the air, so when there are too many cars on the road, it can hurt the environment. This can lead to health problems like asthma or other breathing problems. That’s why it’s important to limit our use of cars and find other ways to get around, like walking, biking, or taking public transit.
