Watch the following videos and try to summarise information about the environmental aspects of sustainable mobility.
The video contains the following social dilemma: “The social dilemma perspective views this trend as the outcome of an unfortunate habit that prioritizes short-term gains by car drivers over long-term losses for whole society.”
