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.

Estimated Fuel Economy Drops in Every 2008 Make and Model

Car manufacturers invest millions of dollars annually on research and development; this is to improve every aspect of their cars by the next manufacturing batch. Of course, it is taken into consideration that fuel economy became more important to car shopper than they ever were. This is due to the fact that drivers around the nation are experiencing all time high gas prices. Nowadays gas saving products and additives are being advertised for like no time before. Yet the advertised fuel economy in 2008 car models is lower than 2007 car models. At least this is what you are about to witness if you go to a car dealership, and compare the 2007 to the 2008 of same make and model.

The good news is that the research and development investments are not being wasted, and the manufactures did not neglect the fuel efficiency factor, better yet, those 2007 are indifferent to the 2008 models as far as fuel efficiency is concerned, but are more realistic. Yes, the EPA has finally decided to tweak the way it measures fuel economy, the numbers you will starting 2008 models is going to be more realistic. I am as most of you are aware, a numbers oriented person, yet find it hard to remember monitoring a car that gave the announced Gas mileage. Well, basically because I am not old enough. The standards for measuring fuel economy you see around have not changed since 1984, back when the highway speed limits hardly reached 55 miles an hour. Obviously, it’s a different world now, where highway speed limits are reaching at some parts of country 80 miles per hour.

On a concluding note, it is worth quoting the EPA spokesman on this issue. John Millett said “Driving has changed so much, since we last updated the method in 1984, that we were due for a change,” says. “We have faster interstate highway speeds, 65 to 70 miles an hour in some areas, up from 55. We also have a lot more vehicles equipped with air conditioning.”For more information about selling your car, check out the Estimated Fuel Economy Drops in Every 2008 Make and Model

A Home for Every Green Heart

According to the Australian Burean of Statistics, around 56 per cent of Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions are generated from the home. While it is important that we pressure business and government for sustainable initiatives, some of the easiest changes can be made in our own dwellings. From simple lifestyle changes such as adopting the Green Pages Top 50 tips to a more substantial investment in your home’s design features.

For many, building a sustainable home may seem too challenging, too daunting or just not feasible. Many people claim ‘we can’t afford it’, ‘I already own a home (and am still paying it off!)’, or ‘I’m renting’; these are all ready made excuses that make even the most die-hard greenie resistant to making a more substantial investment in a sustainable home.

‘Money is always one of the major impediments to investing in a sustainable home,’ says Julien Laclave, renewable energy promotions officer for Australian and New Zealand Solar Energy Society (ANZES). A green home can save a family thousands of dollars a year. ‘We can’t force people to invest in a sustainable renovation or a new home, but we can show them that it really pays off.’ Reduced energy bills from renewable energy sources and more comfortable living conditions that don’t require artificial heating or cooling are just some of the benefits of a sustainably designed home.

Lacave is also the project manager of the ANZES Sustainable House Day, a nationwide event that showcases a number of sutainable homes to the public. This year, over 100 homes were on diplsay and visitors could speak directly with the owners and get first hand information about the home and its sustinable features. Lacave finds taht many attendees come to sources ideas for their own projects. ‘People who visit the homes find it very inspiring. It’s very unique to be able to talk wiht the residents,’ he says.

So what’s behind good green design?

Essentially, building a ‘green home’ is to ensure a house is as ’self sustaining’ as possible. Key features include minimising energy use, rainwater harvesting, managing waste water disposal and even sustaining its inhabitants with a lush green garden. Renowned celebrities such as Csate Blanchett have brough popularity to green residences. Sustainable home design is reaching the mainstream. People are realising eco homes make good sense. Households can lower their energy bills by as much as 50 per cent and save on their water bills. Green homes stay comfortable throughout the year without the aid of artificial heating and cooling, which make them a real pleasure to live in. ‘A sustainable house is just a house that is well designed and cleverly thought out’, says Lacave.
