The E-ZPass electronic road toll-paying system was initiated in 1993 and has effectively made traffic flow at toll-stations much more efficient, reducing the amount of lag time countless cars sit, waiting to pay their tolls manually and releasing concentrated polluting gases into Earth's atmosphere.
Drivers attach a small device on their cars which sends signals at a certain radio frequency which is picked up by detectors at toll booths.
Drivers can opt to use credit cards to replenish the funds in their E-ZPass accounts and generally the system is thought to be rather convenient.
This simple convenience-engine system surprisingly creates a nice boon for eco-pollution minded citizens and politicians.
The question is, "How can we translate such lifestyle-convenience technologies into pragmatic perspective-changing podiums for eco-conscious sophistication?"
