Hi Lyss, I thought you had a good informative presentation for Earth Day. I found hybrid cars are better for the environment than regular cars because regular cars produce exhaust that is released into the air and hybrid cars release water into the air. I also learned that hybrid cars are safe for me and the environment. Another thing I learned was there are a lot of hybrid cars with styles for everyone. I found all the different ways to keep the air clean without the exhaust of cars interesting too. Another interesting fact I gained from this presentation was that the escalade can be a hybrid. I would like to learn more about hybrid cars and more reasons why they are better for the environment.

Hey Alyssa,

One thing I learned from you presentation is the Pries is the most popular of the the hybrid cars and it has a safety rating of 4 stars. I also learned that overall hybrids have very good safety ratings and hybrid cars just put out water, unlike regular cars that pollute the environment with toxic gases. I found it was very interesting that a hybrid car can actually save people money since you save money on gas. I was also interested how even a little thing like taking the bus or riding a bike, can make such a big difference. I would love to learn more about how the safety ratings of hybrids compare to the safety ratings of other cars.
