Statement Title 

Electric cars not only reduce your carbon footprint, but also are more cost-effective, proving to be a smart purchase.

Statement Description 

An analysis done by the International Council for Clean Transportation (ICCT) compares a typical european internal combustion engine car, the hybrid car with the best fuel economy (2019 Toyota Prius Echo), and a electric car (Nissan Leaf). The results indicate that the electric car is far more fuel efficient than both the standard car and the hybrid. Additionally, a University of Michigan study found that on average, an electric vehicle is 50% more cost effective than a gas powered car. 

However, actual consumer behavior shows that people don't want to buy an electric car, and this can be attributed to the lack of intrest. Electric cars don't have the prestige that comes with good old fashioned, gas-powered cars or expensive sports cars. Electric cars are a smart purchase both for your pocket and for the planet, and there needs to be an effort made to showcase their practicality and supremacy, to finally get the attention and buyers they deserve.

Statement Title 

Many people don't understand nutrition, and might deprive their body of necessary nutrients as the vegan diet is extremely constricting.

Statement Description 

The fact that healthy eating and exercise is beneficial for a person's health is widely know and believed, however, especially in america, people are dying of obesity, which is preventable. This shows that they may not understand how the food they consume affects their body. The same is true for people across all weight and diet groups. With vegan and vegetarian diets, people run the risk of skimping on essential nutrients such as Vitamin B12, Omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin D, Iron, and Zinc. A deficiency in these nutrients has severe side effects such as weak bones, weak cardiovascular strength, tiredness, shortness of breath, loss of appetite, nerve problems, and megaloblastic anemia. Without proper nutritional understanding, people could severely harm their bodies. At present there are not enough nutritionalists to help every family- about 80 thousand dietitians to 126 million families. Addittionaly, a variety in a vegan diet can only be achieved by purchasing rare and expensive ingredients, which many families do not have the time and money for. Going vegan is undoubtedly beneficial if done right, but untill nutrition is understood by the average person and ingredients and supplements are more readily avaible and cheaper, people who are not well equiped to go vegan should not. (This is not to say that no one should, just that people who don't have the means to shouldn't be forced to.)
