The company is called Aclima. CBS national environmental correspondent David Schechter and producer Chance Horner traveled to Oakland to speak to the company's CEO and see why the work is so groundbreaking.He sat down CEO Davida Herzl who told him that her company operates a fleet of cars outfitted with tubes and sensors that analyzes the air for 14 kinds of pollution One of them is carbon dioxide, which floats straight up into the atmosphere. And it can stay there for hundreds of years.
Schechter and Horner climbed into one of Aclima's special vehicles along with Herzl and took off. Immediately, the sensors began measuring data. There are a lot of ways that CO2 gets into the air. But, according to the EPA, the number one source of carbon emissions is transportation, at 27%.
