Environmentally Friendly Transportation For Every Day
In this article we are not looking at environmentally friendly transportation for holidays or travel. We are going to look at your ways of transportation in your own neighborhood, when you go to work, school, do your shopping and so on. It is so easy to take the car but you should not get used to it and there are other, much more environmentally friendly, transportation types. And they are easy as well.
The least favorite
To keep it interesting for you I should probably start with a more popular type of transportation but because a lot of people out there have just forgotten about this perfect option we will start with the most unpopular way of getting yourself from A to B in America, walking. There is a big difference if you live in a big crowded city or your home is in the country or in the suburbs. City folks walk much more then other people, for them walking is cheaper, its easier and they keep in shape at the same time. But it seems that when people have more space and they live in an rural area they take the car for almost everything. If you are one of those people and you are interested in more environmentally friendly transportation types this article is great for you
Walk to everything you need to go to in a 15 to 20 minute radius.
Cycle to everything you need to go to that is further, and do that up to 45 minutes of cycling. After that you can use a vehicle. A vehicle is not the same as a car, a great cheap and easy type of transportation is a scooter. There are gas and electrical scooters and it’s up to you to make a choice. Electrical scooters are often more environmentally friendly. But what ever you choose a scooter is a great way to get from A to B, you have all freedom, you can drive around all traffic jams, no parking problems and parking costs.
When you need to drive further then 1 hour on your scooter you can take a look a motor scooter or at public transportation like subways, the train or bus. Because you ride with a lot of people it is often a more environmentally friendly transportation solution then driving your car.
Environmentally friendly transportation is cheaper
For example a scooter compared to car mileage example:
”Each mile in an SUV costs in gas PPG/MPG where PPG is the price per gallon and MPG is the mileage of your vehicle. If the price per gallon is $3.00 and your vehicle gets 12 miles per gallon, 3/12 = a cost of $0.25 per mile. Now we calculate cost/mile for a scooter at 85 MPG: 3/85 = about $0.035 – about three and a half cents a mile. With these figures, it is simple to see that each mile on a scooter costs $0.215 less than it would in an SUV. Thus, when it reaches 5000 miles, the scooter will have saved us 5000 * $0.215 or $1075.00! Just about the price of an inexpensive Motorscooter.” according to MotorScooterMuse .com
As you can see environmentally friendly transportation is fun, cheap and not just for green hippie type people at all. The benefits of environmentally friendly transportation are very big and it is wise in this time of financial and environmental crisis to look at our options.

Sustainable Medicine
Sustainability, broadly defined as the capacity to endure, has become a wide-ranging term that can be applied to almost every facet of life on earth, from a local to a global scale. For humans it is the potential for long-term maintenance of wellbeing, which in turn depends on the wellbeing of the natural world and the responsible use of natural resources. The incorporation of sustainability within the practice of medicine and dentistry is a newly emerging model of healthcare that ideally will be available to all persons and is good for people and the environment.
Sustainable healthcare is the practice of medicine and dentistry that recognizes the link between the environment, medicine and human health and seeks to provide better healthcare while protecting our limited environmental and medical resources. The sustainable, green approach to healthcare is much more comprehensive and more beneficial than a holistic approach alone. The following are the basic principles of ecologically sustainable medicine:
- Safe and harmless
- Clean and non-toxic
- Cost-effective
- Non-polluting
- Adaptable and flexible
- Accessible to all people
- Renewable
- Protective of the quality of life on earth, the environment and earth’s natural resources
- Synergistic with human health and planetary well-being
- Connected with the web of life
Conventional healthcare, in contrast, focuses on cure and specialization, costing more money and often limiting care to only those who can afford it. Conventional medicine places emphasis on treating the end points of disease rather than employing the precautionary principle and focusing on prevention and the link between human health and the environment. In addition, conventional healthcare consumes huge quantities of resources, which are becoming scarce and many of the waste products of healthcare actually do harm. The over-prescribing and misuse of pharmaceuticals, the improper disposal of pharmaceuticals, the incineration of bio-hazardous waste and the utilization of medical products containing environmental toxins, poses a serious threat to human health. There is an undeniable connection between our health and the environment. The environment, both locally and globally, both indoors and out, is a primary determinant to your health. The WHO (World Health Organization) puts the value of clean air, clean water and healthy land for uncontaminated food and recreation close to 60% of the primary basis for a healthy life, affecting you just as much as your genetic makeup!
The implementation of sustainable medicine and dentistry lies in two directions. One is the way of prevention, health promotion, and a public health priority. Here the focus will be on reducing the social and environmental problems that are now reckoned to be the most significant source of illness, disease, and premature death. The other direction is toward greater personal responsibility for health, laying upon individuals a far stronger obligation, backed by appropriate social and economic incentives, to take care of their health and simultaneously, laying upon society a stronger obligation to change those social and economic institutions that generate, or abet, poor health (D. Callahan, www.teleosis.org).
How can you incorporate sustainable healthcare into your everyday life?
- Eat healthy food, preferably organic and locally grown
- Engage in regular exercise, preferably outdoors, walk to places
- Rest regularly
- Understand your local environment (where are places for you to engage in active recreation, where are places that have hazards or risks that should be avoided)
- Purchase supplements and medications in small amounts (everything you buy has to be disposed of if unused)
- Choose personal care products (PCPs) that are natural and non-toxic (the improper disposal and overuse of PCPs and pharmaceuticals are posing a serious threat to our municipal water system and the ecosystem)
- Only use antibiotics when absolutely necessary and listen to your doctor
- Seek practitioners that endorse sustainable medicine and dentistry.

How will green energy create new jobs?
Won’t those in old energy be losing theirs at the same time? It’s not like we need more energy, just a different kind right? Your thoughts?
How do you get a recycling program started in an apartment complex?
Here in Houston, TX, they’re talking about becoming greener, but so far I’ve heard nothing about more recycling programs for people in apartments and also several subdivisions. The nearest facility to my apartment to take almost all recyclables is pretty far away, and I know my friends would recycle better if they had a more convenient way to do so. Any thoughts?
