Green your commute

[Music]

are you

one of those who think that climate

change

is a hoax i hope not

because you can see it around you the

temperature has become warmer

glaciers are melting and sea levels

have been rising at a tremendous rate

climate change is one of the reasons why

we have

more extreme weather while we have

flooding

in many places and suffer harsh droughts

in other parts of the world one of the

biggest

pollutants of our environment

comes from fossil fuels

we demand energy to make our lives

comfortable

we power our homes drive our cars

and enjoy other modern conveniences

the better we live the more energy we

need

and the more fossil fuels we burn

unnecessarily the fact

is energy is being carelessly used

every day but

as you use this energy have you ever

thought about how much you waste and how

burning fossil fuels

negatively affects our environment

you might think that wasting energy

is not such a bad thing well

it is it pollutes the environment

and is harmful for humans

then you might ask so

what can i do how can i save energy

well today i will share with you all the

little things

that i do every day to help stop

wasting fossil fuels they’re

all fairly simple and doable

by everyone so let’s dive into

how we can all be more eco-friendly

firstly i’m very happy that our family

has an electric car

that way we wouldn’t need to burn fossil

fuels and we can just save energy

if you have an electric car that’s great

you’re not wasting fossil fuels

if you don’t have an electric car that’s

okay

but you need to be more mindful about

how you drive

so that you’re not wasting a lot of

energy

i also go on a hoverboard when i go to

see my friends around the neighborhood

or just friends nearby a hoverboard

is electric and therefore more

eco-friendly to the environment

next when we want to go to the market

my mom calls the food delivery instead

just imagine if 10 cars

went to a market that would be

a lot of wasted energy but if only

one delivery guy went to all these 10

people and delivered their food it will

be a one person journey

and that will be saving energy

it’s also another big plus that their

motorbikes

are electric so that would be being more

eco-friendly and

saving energy they also save

time the food delivery just

takes about 30 minutes to get to your

home

and usually when you go to the market it

takes you

an hour or something like that so

if you do the food delivery you just

need to click some things on your phone

and boom you don’t have to go shopping

anymore

the third thing i do is carpooling

every friday me my friend mia and

another

my friend eddie would go to a math class

together

in one car that means we wouldn’t have

to have

three cars and we can all just fit in

one car

the plus side is the car is electric

so that’s very good

carpooling is also fun because

you get to chat with your friends on the

car or joke around

taking the subway is another good way to

save energy

it’s basically carpooling but you have a

bigger

car and you have more people in it

and even if it’s not electric it’s still

only

one vehicle so that’s saving energy

taking the subway also costs you

less a one hour ride

would be just six yen and

if you’re wondering that’s 1.2 in

canadian dollars

90 us cents and 80 euro cents

well you get the idea it’s not very

expensive

and it’s definitely cheaper than a taxi

the last thing i do is i walk to places

if they’re not very far away

i know most people are a bit

lazy with all these conveniences we have

right now

but come on think about it

it’s better for the environment and also

it’s better for your health

walking is also another good option

because

it just takes loads of energy to start

your car

but if you walk you wouldn’t need to

start your car anymore

these simple steps may seem so

simple that maybe you think

they’re useless to the environment

no not at all they can change

the world margaret

made a famous author once said

never believe that a few caring people

can’t change the world indeed

that’s all whoever have so

will you be that caring person who will

change

the world if

everyone does little things

every day i’m sure

that we will see some very big results

little by little a little

comes a lot thank you
