For centuries, man has been making inventions to improve his living conditions in terms of travel, health, food, housing and in so many other areas. To move, he uses means some of which contribute to the destruction of the environment. In Guinea, for example, 90% of the means of land transport are cars and motorcycles which during circulation escapes carbon dioxide which contributes to air pollution. Ecological mobility is very low in this country those who use the bicycle, which is an ecological means of transport, do so to practice sport, few of them use it to travel and these are children. The problem is that in Guinea there is no specially reserved track for cyclists. The rate of people who also regularly walk to work or to run errands is low. Encouraging ecological mobility is a way to preserve our environment. Governments must also invest in this area to encourage the population to adhere to ecological mobility for the well-being of all. Eco-mobility or sustainable mobility is a concept that has emerged in the wake of questions of sustainable development, to designate the design, implementation and management of modes of transport deemed less harmful to the environment, safe and economical, in particular with a lower contribution to greenhouse gas emissions. Eco-mobility is easier to implement, and therefore more often practiced, in urban areas. Technical means and alternatives exist, and political measures have shown positive effects in some cities or regions, but a major challenge, according to David Banister, remains the transition, which involves putting in place the conditions for change and acceptability of alternatives to “unsustainable” transport. These conditions imply a high quality implementation of innovative and efficient systems, and they require finding the trust and acceptance of many stakeholders as well as active participation.

Hello Sandy!
It's your SJ mentor.
I hope you are doing well.
For centuries, humans have sacrificed nature and the earth for their convenience.
In return, we faced the threat of climate change.
To solve this problem, we need to hurry up the transition to an eco-friendly lifestyle.
Among them, efforts should be made to reduce carbon emissions in the transportation sector, and the use of eco-friendly transportation such as bicycles and electric vehicles is essential.
In close range, shared bicycles should be introduced and bike paths should be maintained to ensure maximum bicycle use.
As sufficient technical alternatives exist, we must make utmost efforts to implement them.
Green cheers!
Best regards,
SJ mentor.

Hello Sandy,
this is your mentor WooJoo.
Warm greetings from South Korea!
Thank you for sharing such an informative report regarding eco-friendly mobility.
I understand that if there is no proper infrastructure provided for eco-friednly lifestyle, then nobody could maintain its use or encourage others to join in environmental friendly actions.
To be honest, a decade ago, South Korea did not have a good infrasturcture for the use of ecomobilities, but soon people started being concerned of environmental issues and began to implement many policies, provide rental bicycles, etc.
Hopefully Guinea can move towards eco-city by changing and adopting new technologies and infrastructures, as we did.
Green cheers!
Regards,
WooJoo
