Ride Bikes or walk to Reduce Carbon Dioxide Emission

Driving cars is also a main reason of carbon dioxide emission. Cars didn't just cause the air pollution but also the big amount of carbon dioxide caused global warming.

In the United States, they have the large passenger vehicle market in the world -— with over 243 million. The burning gasoline releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which means every time you drive, you will be one of the members that release the carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Someone will think, "how much carbon dioxide can be released once? Can't be that much huh?"

But you are wrong. Too much carbon dioxide is going to the atmosphere is because there are too many people driving and soon many cars will produce huge amount of carbon dioxide. Sometimes, people always use their cars when it is not necessary. Like going to school, but you can just simply walk there or ride a bicycle in a short period of time. Instead, you chose to take the car. Yeah, it helped you to save your energy, but it is killing the earth's sustainability. If you are not convinced about what I said, I can give you some solutions to you, so it will be easier for you to do it.

If you are too lazy to walk or bike, or your place is too far from the destination, you can buddy up. Find a friend who is going to the same place as you and take either his or her car or drive you car. Therefore the carbon dioxide emission will be less than two cars. Also, you can take public vehicles like buses or trains. A lot of people will be "stuffed" in a transportation, which is more green than with a friend.

You can also check the pressure of you tires. If they are lack of air, the car will need more gasoline to drive. The theory of it is like riding a bicycle, if the tires are flat, it will need more energy from you to paddle it. If the tires are fully pumped, you can ride it quite easier than the flat ones. Also, you need to step on the brake or the accelerator slightly, not like stepping on them as hard as you can right after what you see. If you realize there is a car far away in front of you and you know that you need step on the brake when you get there, then why don't you just step on it slightly as soon as you see the car and slowly become a halt?

Another solution is to check the price of the gasoline, and calculate the amount you need for a month or sometime. Get the best way of buying and saving gasoline. Also, you can change a type of gasoline without destroying your car, like adding green gasoline. You can go research about the kind of car you have and to see the amount of the carbon dioxide your car/s burns, so based on the site's suggestion, you can improve.

The best of all the solutions is to walk or ride as much as you can in order to save our planet. We need to think about other people, animals, the habitat and the environment. Change the way of thinking, if you are the earth, what will you think if all the humans are driving vehicles even if it's not necessary? People need to be more united and help to save the earth, reduce carbon dioxide emission.
