This theme was how countries are using technology to improve the nature of our environment. One exhibit focused on combustion engines and explained how fuel cells were already seen as the next technology to significantly reduce the greenhouse gases we emit with our automobiles.

The problem does not have an easy fix though. There are several obstacles which need to be evaluated before pollution will change which include government laws and consumers' interests. The only way this pollution crisis can be solved is through the technology of tomorrow. This technology is currently thought to be fuel cells, the best alternative. Before it can be understood why fuel cells are the best technology, we need to be educated on other alternatives as well as the setbacks alternative fuels experience.…
