It would appear that these two industries are worlds apart. However, many people would agree that in many ways one indirectly affects the other. Consider all of the hybrid and energy efficient vehicles that are being produced by car companies. Enviromentalists have been saying for some time now that fossil fuels greatly harm the enviroment. Car manufacturers are responding to this by making vehicles that use Ethanol instead of gasoline. Manufacurers like Honda, Toyota and General Motors have desighned hybrid vehicles that run on electricity and Ethanol.
Many individuals have decided to "go green" and trade in their Hummers and Expeditions for smaller cars that take less gas.
