The Power of Hybrid Electric Cars | Hannah Trescott | TEDxYouth@WBAIS

Hannah Trescott introduces us to the emerging movement towards hybrid cars and encourages us all to take environmentally friendly steps to make the world a better place. Hannah Trescott is a graduating senior at AIS, and based on her research through a course called Senior Project, she explains three main factors that can influence a consumer's decision to purchase a hybrid electric car--energy-efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and environmentally friendliness. However, contrary to popular belief, research showed that the social-image factor was the most prominent factor in prompting a consumer's car purchase. Hannah concludes that even though the social-image factor may be a greater incentive to those who want to purchase a hybrid car, reasons for decreasing pollution in the air should be more of more concern and the purchase of a hybrid electric car is a great way that people can reduce pollution worldwide. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
