Even for trips less than 3kms, a lot of people prefer to take the car instead of riding their bike. Indeed, most people would love to bring their kids to school without using the car but there is no footpath and the road can be very dangerous. But today let’s celebrate World Car Free Day. This is the opportunity for beterre to remind you that there are plenty of eco-friendly means of transport that everyone can use.
Use your bike
Bicycles are probably the means of transport that will never get “has been” or “old fashioned”. On the contrary, it’s becoming super trendy! Riding a bicycle is pretty safe. Moreover, it’s beneficial to your health and to the environment as it doesn’t emit C02. So you’ll easily understand that bicycle is a must if you want to “travel” green.
Carpool Karaoke
It’s time to get your mic and sing with strangers. With the increase of app like BlablaCar, carpooling has become a safe way to travel with strangers that go in the same direction as you. Moreover, it reduces the number of cars on the roads and therefore helps reduce the emission of C02 and protects the environment.
Public transportation
Basically, it follows the principle of carpooling but on a bigger scale. Although there’s still a debate about public transport, using them is better for the environment than driving your own car. Moreover, new green transportations are emerging such as electric trolley cars and trains.
Your feet are beterre!
Walking is probably the most eco-friendly step you can do to move from a place to another. Not only will you save money, but you will also be in a good shape as walking is good exercise. You just need to have a good pair of shoes.
See, it’s pretty easy to choose a green mode of transport and often (not to say always) it’s beterre to avoid driving your car and to choose an eco-friendly alternative.
