Eco Friendly Mobility

Cycling

Hello ecowarriors.

I am excited and would like to thank Tunza eco-generation and mentors for granting us such an wonderful opportunity where we can share an attempt of our eco-friendly mobility. Actually, I was waiting a long for such an opportunity where I can write a few words of my eco-friendly mobility.

I am a resident of Chitwan district. Geographically it is plain and it is very easy to ride bicycles for the people belonging to all age groups. I have been using bicycle since 15 years. I used bicycle not only due to facilitation of geographical property of my district but also it saves a lot of energy. There are many environmental benefits of cycling. It has been estimated that cycling for about 10km helps reducing the emission of greenhouse gases to about 1500 kg and in return it helps in reduction of global warming. And these Little makes more.

As majority of the people in my locality and my family members use bicycles for the mobility, using bicycle for reducing detrimental effects in the environment is the great local attempt from my locality. Riding bicycles consume less energy rather than cars and other auto mobiles. Use of cycles do not need fuels. So, the fuels can be saved for the future use. In addition to this, Cycling is a silent mode of transportation. It does not emit any sound. So, noise pollution can be prevented by using the cycle.

Use of cycle also reduces the traffic jam. Cycling is a good exercise. Cycling is the great initiation for the people who are obese. Cycling is a therapeutic for the cardiovascular system. It helps to live us healthier. Use of cycle does not need any parking space. That means parking space should not be increased in accordance with the increasing use of cycle. It saves money of riding bike or paying the bus fare. So, cycling is the best efficient form of transportation. Riding bicycles do not emit any sorts of smoke or gases. So, it is the useful way of discouraging air pollution.

So, I suggest everyone to ride bicycles as far as possible if you have destinations to which you can use bicycle.

Green Cheers!!
