Drive less bike more

Agreed

I’m going to try to bike to school three days a week

I’m going to try to bike to school three days a week and bus the other two days

I always try to walk to school except if it’s raining really hard.

I sadly live 20 Miles away from school.

I think the idea of biking more and driving less is an excellent plan but it is not always something that is accessible for all. Bikes can be expensive and I know, at least in my experience, many of the places to which I am traveling are over fifteen miles away, which can be an extremely long distance to travel by bike. I often choose an often easier option, public transportation. According to officials at the Federal Transit Association, "Public transportation also benefits those not using it because it helps reduce energy consumption, greenhouse gases, and other pollutants." In many cities, public transportation is also an affordable and convenient option. I urge everyone who cannot bike or walk to their destinations to instead consider using public transit.

I think that we should always try to walk or bike somewhere we have to go if we are able to and in a good condition. It's both good for out health and our environment instead of driving everywhere we go.

Yes riding a bike is way healthier for the earth and everything but i hope in the future or even now they find some kind of fuel for the car that doesn´t affect our planet in a bad way.

we should use bikes more because they are not bad for the nature and they are better for our health. you are helping the environment and getting a good workout at the same time.

i think we need to walk more and bike more. we need to think more what we are doing to our planet.

Riding a bike or walking instead of traveling with a car is a great idea for those who can and are only going short distances. It is healthier for our planet and our bodies to not use our cars for such short distances

I think that as you get older and get your driver license people stop walking and biking. People should really consider it to drive less and bike more because it will help our environment

I think that is a great idea because bike is not bad for the nature and good for your health. People who live near their work or school should use their more bike and not their car especially in the summer time.

I could not agree more. It is very important to walk and bike as much as we can.

I agree that, we have to bike more or walk.

I totally agree. cars are so bad for the environment and if you walk or bike you get the exercise of it too. its a win win situation. if you need to travel a long way, I would suggest taking a bus.

I agree. We should always walk or bike when we can in stead of driving. We need to stop being lazy and walk as much as we can. It is also healthy to go outside and its good to use that as a workout instead of driving to the gym!!

I totally agree. walk more and bike more.

I completely agree that biking more is highly ideal for our environment, as the use of personal cars to drive places does have a huge impact on our carbon emissions. The Center for Climate and Energy Solutions says that cars make up almost half of the carbon dioxide emission and that burning just one gallon of gas results in about 20 pounds of carbon, so it is clear that there is definitely an issue here that needs to be solved. However, according to a website called "Bicycle Universe", the average cost of a bike in U.S. dollars is $350-700. To spend money like this on a bike, you have to be able to commit to riding it a lot and getting in a good use of it as it is not cheap. On that topic, for many people it is hard to ride a bike a lot as many areas do not have only flat roads or sidewalks which makes it hard to feel motivated to ride it. In addition, if you are trying to use it as a day to day mode of transportation, that can be hard too, because sometimes the distances you have to travel are too far to travel by bike or even walk. A good alternative could be public transportation such as the bus. I take the bus a lot and I really like it, as it always gets me where I need to be on time. Even things like the subway or metro which "produce 76% less in greenhouse gas emissions per passenger mile than an average single-occupancy vehicle(SOV)"(U.S. Department of Transportation). As you can see, there are many other ways to get from place to place that also do a good job of reducing carbon emissions.
