Go green???Sure!!!

 

 

Hello folks!!!I'm kinda new here,and i hope you'll take me up as one of "us".

Why i'm here???For a long time i'm thinking about all that stories of green world,ecology etc etc...But last week i finely have done somthing to make world just a little bit greener that it was.I purchase a BIKEEEE!!!LOL...What a bike,holly cow!!!Bike powered with electric motor!!!It's much easier to go work by bike and stay dry:).My car is standing parked and i happyly watching every day it becomes dustier and dustier...Just wondering can anyone go for my example(if i induce just one of you,i did a great job).In next few days i'll try to say a few words bout going green on public transportation.Few things for today...


1. A (hu)man with a Plan.

If you’re not sure you can do the public transportation thing, start small with one a goal of taking public transportation at least one day a week until you figure out the system. Before you know it, you’ll be making friends and riding along with everyone else.

 

2. Get On the Bus.

Write to your city representatives to request that your community upgrade their diesel buses to fleets of LNG or biodiesel buses. This will reduce the CO2 emissions generated, reduce dependence on imported oil dependency, and in the case of biodiesel engines actually run cleaner and more efficient than petrochemical diesel.

3. Be a Change Agent.

If you don’t use public transport in your local area because the service doesn’t work for you, for whatever reason, then get it changed. Write letters to your city newspaper, comment on their online stories that address urban travel, join a public transport advocacy group, and meet with your local government representative. Things won’t change, until you inform people you want them to.

4. Walk to school.

Most children live close enough to walk school, but few do. Instead of driving your children the few blocks, walk with them or allow them to take the school bus.
