You Don’t Have to Stop Driving to Fight Global Warming

Posted by: Diar Adhihafsari In: Uncategorized

You don’t have to stop driving to fight global warming, but you should know an average car produces 6 tons global warming pollution each year.

To get clean air and cool planet, we all can be cool drivers with these simple steps (still cited from the above site):
1. Drive (or ride your motorcycle) no more than you need to.
2. Keep your tires properly inflated.

Or change your vehicle into the eco-friendly hybrid one (is it possible for us in Indonesia, or even in Pontianak?).

Or you can just take the bus or other sorts of public transportations, if possible (for those of you who live in my city must already know the situation here).

Or just ride a bike. Well, yes, almost all cities everywhere are jammed with cars and motorcycles, no space left for bikers (or even, sometimes, for walkers), but when you know that you can reduce a little CO2 emission, why not? Jakarta gets traffic jams every single day, but still, many workers united in the Bike to Work (B2W) community cycle to work when possible.

So, why not join with me of doing an effort to save regularly on a term-deposit account. What for? Of course to buy a bike (unless you’ve got enough money at present, then off you go to the nearest bike shop). This way, you are reducing the fossil fuel use that can reduce CO2 emissions—the primary contributor to global warming.
