Cars were once a luxury …but now they are a necessity. Few years back when Global Warming issue was brought up in a big way…voices were raised to stop the growing number of cars on the roads. Though the throats have all dried up …there isn't any reduction in the number of four wheelers moving on the roads. If we cant curb the number of cars then the least we can do is use them intelligently.
My sincere appeal to everyone across the globe is to utilize your machines with some care towards the nature.
• Don't keep your vehicles on idling. Just to save on the started we waste a lot of precious gas and pollute the old Earth more.
• Places like traffic signals, dropping kids to school and waiting till they are safe inside, saying bye to a friend after a meeting are some instances where the time involved may be a minute or so but the damage is much greater.
• Do keep your vehicle's tires inflated to the recommend pressure.
• Avoid using a four wheeler if you are the only one traveling. Its not advisable to use a car for just one person. Friends staying nearby going to the same destination everyday can pool in and use one vehicle to commute. Take turns to use your cars.
• If you have good public transports available in your countries please make use of them.
Just by becoming a member of WE and joining communities, wearing T-shirts and using stickers, you and me can't make any difference. We need to work, step by step (never mind if they are small) but keep taking them. Never stop.
There is a very famous saying here, 'Keep working don't worry for the fruit'. If the work is done with a good intention, its fruits will always be sweet!
