Green transportation A massive revolution of transporting activities has been taken place with the technological development in modern world. It causes to increase the productivity, efficiency and the comfortable luxuries life pattern. But, unfavourable effects caused due to this development make long term disadvantageous results. Large amount to fuels burn daily for transporting good and passengers. The result is collecting green house gases such as CO2 and NO2 more in the atmosphere.
Vehicles of turbo engines which combust compressed air with petrol, release more NO2 gas in addition to CO2. Hence, attention must be paid towards of minimizing the emission of greenhouse gases in transporting activities. This concept is known as green transportation.
e.g.
- Minimizing usage of vehicles individually
- Using transporting methods which do not consume fuels (walking, cycling)
- Aware and facilitate citizens to use hybrid vehicles
- Promote the concept vehicles using solar cells and electricity among public
- Facilitating, transporting methods through water ways such as streams and rivers
When transporting food and other goods, it burns large amount of fuels that energy consumption is also need to cut down to decrease food miles. Consumption of local food is also need to appreciate. Every individual must take steps to minimize the emission of greenhouse gases in transporting activities so, that every body can contribute to solve global crises.
The above discussion reveals us that, man has changed his living environment drastically for his luxurious life by exploitation of limited resources unlimitedly. Other organisms on the Earth has no privilege to use environmental resources as human population, although they live in the same land.
Number of global issues has been arisen from unusual exploitation of natural resources by some people. The serious threaten is global warming. Hence, it is the responsibility of man to avoid every activity which causes the emission of greenhouse gases.
From birth to death, every activity of man cause producing CO2. This can be clearly understood by studying 'carbon footprint' of an individual.
