CITYWIDE Once the final bell rang sig- nalizing the start of summer break, so began three months of employment at a pet shop for George Bukhin. While school is out for summer, the three-month break from tests and homework doesn’t necessarily mean time-off from responsibilities, as many Santa Monica High School students find themselves occupied for the summer with jobs and volunteering commitments. Bukhin is working in customer service at Centinela Feed and Pet Supplies, the second straight summer working at the pet store for the Samohi senior. The varsity football player has spent the past five summers working or volunteering in some capacity, including helping out at the dog shelter and his mother’s school.

Dear EarthTalk: How much pollution do motorcycles generate? Are there efforts to make them more eco-friendly? Matt Lackore Rochester, MN

MOTORCYCLES TYPICALLY GET ABOUT double the gas mileage of even the most fuel-efficient cars—but that doesn’t mean they are green. Despite getting 60-70 miles per gallon, motorcycles are not subject to the same rigorous emissions standards as cars and light duty trucks, even though they spew up to 15 times more pollution per mile, mostly in the form of smog-caus- ing hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides. Increasingly stringent regulations in Europe and the U.S. have forced automak- ers to make their engines cleaner, but motorcycle manufacturers have not been held to such high standards and have therefore been slow to implement similar advances. According to the European Commission, motorcycles—despite only accounting for about three percent of total traffic volume in Europe—are Photo courtesy Getty Images expected to generate as much as 14 per- TEARING UP THE ROAD: Motorcycles are cent of that continent’s total hydrocarbon tough on the environment, spewing up to 15 emissions by 2010. times more pollution per mile than cars and But there is light at the end of the tun- light trucks, mostly in the form of smog-caus- nel, thanks in large part to the state of ing hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides.
