How Bad Can Auto Emissions Really Be?

So I was thinking about this as I was driving up and down the New Jersey Turnpike the past week going to NYC and Long Island (which lately have been my second home) and I was wondering how bad can car emissions really be to the environment?

I was wondering this as I was looking at the trees lining the highway.  They were full, vibrant trees that have been growing alongside the road for decades.  Everyday they are submitted to exhaust from trucks, cars and motorcycles and yet, year after year, they never seem to suffer from any damaging effects of the pollution that we all hear about coming from motor vehicles. 

How bad can it really be?

Lots to do

Folks,

I appreciate you all checking in and wondering about where I have been. 

I have been so nuts lately.  I am still working on remodeling my kitchen.  I am working very hard on growing my forum on TalkPa.net  and I am on staff at 2 others.  My daughter now volunteers twice a week at the local Petsmart store helping with Forgotten Kittens, kids have started back school, my work travel has increased, my workload has increased, I’ve been exercising more, been going to NASCAR races like Richmond, Dover, Bristol and quite frankly I just have not had much time to blog. 

If you are on my blogroll, I am checking in on your blogs even though I might not comment. 

I am sorry that I let you all down.  It is just that I am in a stretch of being overwhelmed with a lot of other things. 

I’ll be back.  I have a lot of scraps of papers with notes on them with things to write about.  I just have not had the time to do it.
