Why are car manufacturers trying to reduce their carbon footprint?

because it upsets environmentalists and they want to appear like they care about the planet, this may also make people want to buy their cars because they think the company is trying to help the planet.
Many countries have passed laws to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, like the carbon dioxide released when petrol is burnt. Cars have to reduce their emissions or they can not be sold.

Why is the government trying to reduce the amount of electricity you use?
I think the reason for this is to reduce the earth's carbon footprint.A:Yes, most electricity is generated by burning fossils fuels, mainly coal. This releases a lot of extra carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere where it is gradually building up, absorbing the sun's heat, and warming the planet, too much. So if we all use a bit less electricity it will reduce the carbon footprint of our country. All countries are in a kind of race to reduce their carbon emissions. They don't all want to take hard steps, but if people reduce by themselves the governments will be happy (a bit!).
How do you increase your ecological footprint?
Drive an SUV; leave the lights burning in every room all night; hold the fridge door open for ten minutes every hour; run the air conditioning with wndows open. BUT.... ummmmm.. Why would you want to INCREASE your carbon foorprint when soooo many others are desperately trying to DECREASE the overall carbon footprint of humanity? We all have a fairly small footprint, this is a hype issue. Having said that, there is absolutely no reasonable reason to not want as small a carbon footprint (or any pollutant footprint) as possible. What you want to be careful of though is that you don't shrink your carbon foot print at the cost of a much larger real pollution foot print. High efficiency bulbs are a great example. They do decrease the power consumption at the terrible cost of Mercury mining, florescence being used and a far larger real pollution foot print. They sure feel good though.

Why are many governments trying to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide produced by burning fossil fuels?
Many governments, particularly in the European Union, are trying to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide produced by burning fossil fuels in order to slow global warming and cliimate change. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, and increases in atmospheric greenhouse gases contribute to rapid increases in average global temperatures.
Why do tires wear out too soon?
Because tire manufacturers don't put enough carbon black in the tire compound because they are trying to increase their profits. Tire manufacturers are like politicians. They are all crooks and know that the public does not understand what really makes tires wear out too soon.

Why is atmospheric carbon dioxide being measured?
Carbon dioxide is causing global warming and climate change. Countries are trying to reduce their emissions of this greenhouse gas. We measure CO2 levels to see if our preventative measures are having any effect.
