Environmentally Friendly Transportation

AshleyRBOD3MM

One of the biggest contributors to climate change is vehicles that run on fossil fuels. Luckily, there are many environmentally friendly alternatives to driving. For example, simply deciding to walk or bike to close by destinations is an easy way to reduce your carbon footprint. Many people choose to drive to a place that they could easily walk to. By being more mindful of distances, you can decide whether or not it's really necessary to drive. If you need to get somewhere that's farther away, you could also take public transportation or carpool to help reduce CO2 emissions. Simply choosing a more environmentally friendly form of transportations can make a big difference.

This is definitely a topic that everyone is partially neglecting at the moment and that people can do more about. I personally think that people only drive where they can walk due to a matter of indolence and not wanting to work out. Not only can walking or biking to places possible reduce the Co2 emission in the atmosphere, but it can also provide a salubrious experience for one's well being. Carpool and public transportation are definitely more environmentally friendly as everyone is taking one vehicle instead of one hundred people taking a hundred vehicles.

Using environmentally friendly transportation is something that more people need to do. When some people hear about this, they think of expensive Tesla's and other expensive electric cars. But that definitely is not the only form of environmentally friendly form of transportation. There is public transit, biking, and of course walking just to name a few. Even carpooling is better than nothing. If people have the chance to use an environmentally friendly form of transportation they should take advantage of it!

I totally agree with this topic of transportation. People are now using cars to get everywhere, and are very dependent on them. Some places are far away and it is sometimes necessary to drive, but I agree that people need to use more public transportation so that we can reduce our carbon footprints. We have so many public transportations options, like buses, shuttles to school, and Bart that can take us to our destination. If we started to carpool and take more public transportation I agree that we can lower our carbon footprint levels.
