Hi Henry-
We believe that the global warming pollution that comes from your car is concerning because vehicles are one of the the two largest sources of CO2 emissions (the other is coal fired power plants).
To control global warming and preserve the earth for future generations, we need to cut back car and power plant emissions ASAP.
As for using CO2 for cleaning...Many companies that have been allowed for decades to pollute for free are now finally being brought into line with others who must pay to clean up their harmful waste-- I would be wary of the promises or claims that companies like those make.
