This section collects articles on the environmental side of cars and the technology around them. It covers sustainable and recycled materials, recyclable design, ethical sourcing and sustainable manufacturing, along with lifecycle assessment and what it reveals about eco claims. Other articles examine carbon neutral and zero emission goals, carbon offsets, carbon footprints, renewable energy, energy recovery and the hydrogen debate. A recurring theme is separating real progress from greenwashing and hype, and looking at who pays the costs of green technology. The section also includes pieces on green car awards, clean air goals and the wider climate impact of everyday choices.
