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
