Public transit
According to the Federal Transit Association "transportation accounts for 29 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States"-https://www.transit.dot.gov/regulations … ansit-role. With public transportation, we're able to move more people while using fewer carbon emissions. What could be a better alternative than using public transportation to reduce Carbon emissions? Next time you need to go somewhere think about whether its necessary to use uber or have someone drive you.
I agree with your post. Public transportation is good to use because we can fit a lot more people into one form of transportation rather than many cars. Many people tend to go for the quicker options such as uber, lift and their own cars which is understandable but is not helping our atmosphere. The fewer cars on the road the better. A few alternative ways to help the atmosphere could be taking uber pools which allow multiple people to carpool in one uber to either the same location or locations in the same area (https://www.uber.com/blog/5-benefits-of … -uberpool/) or riding bikes and walking to closer locations. If we use these alternatives we could reduce our carbon footprint, stay active and interact with more people.
Great idea. The use of public transport can definitely help the environment. The more people that use public transport are helping cut down their CO2 footprint. Another way people can help the environment through transportation is bike riding. The more people who ride their bikes to work or to school can help reduce the amount of CO2 in the world.
I agree with your post because people can get an uber or lyft to destinations which save lots of carbon emissions. People can also use transportation like taxi and bus to get to your destination with little carbon emissions. People can also bike or walk to work if they are close to there job which can save time by not waiting at lights also no carbon emissions used. This is a great idea.
