Your car and the environment
We have all read the reports on how much carbon emission our cars give off and the gas and the oil and everything else about a car, but have you really sat down and actually thought about the cost involved in the transportation your car offers you everyday? I am not just talking about getting you from point A to point B, I am talking about the over all cost of even owning a car. The cost out of your own pocket and the cost on the eco-system and planet around said car?
Transportation is a lot more than just the roads and the cars on the road and it’s a lot more than just getting from work to home. Transportation shouldn’t be that in which we have to take our over-extended Suburban’s to a local park because there isn’t any form of sidewalks or bike paths to help us get there without using the lanes. The fact is, whether there is a path for you to walk on or not, we should find a better way to get from A to B.
If you think about transportation, do you ever consider where and how your food is trucked in? Transportation covers how our food is shipped and transported to us as well. How far and how many miles has that beautiful bouquet of flowers taken to get to your table in that vase?
When we consider transportation in a new light and we see where we can cut out unnecessary miles just with simple changes, then we really grasp the concept of how you can better your traveling and the planets strain when it comes to transportation.
*Natural and Sustainable Living Tip: Alternative transportation is the best way to go when getting to a location that is within walking distance.
