Global warming is accelerating! The Arctic ice grows thinner each season. If polar bears are in trouble, so are we! But what can we as individuals do to reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere which is the main cause of the warming trend?
The climate changes we are already experiencing are the result of each individual human being's carbon footprint. If each of us continues to be an energy hog we have no one else to blame when the Arctic ocean melts and the frozen tundra quickly follows. That will release huge amounts of methane into our atmosphere. Unless we all reduce our use of petroleum products, warming will continue. You should read some opinions on what to ride on or in to start reducing your carbon footprint!
Will switching to EV's (electric vehicles) help? Absolutely! Start with your toys. Trade in your gas powered golf cart, gas motorcycle, gas moped, gas motor bike or gas motor scooter for the electric version! Learn how simple it is to just 'plug in!' Many web based retailers offer an excellent high quality electric moped, electric motor bike or electric motor scooter. Technology is constantly improving and a new wave of EV is being developed from your neighbor's garage all the way 'up' to Volvo's R and D division. Check out the web and see whats going on in the garage next door and also with high quality auto makers such as Volvo!!
Our world lives in fear of terrorism, reacting and responding to useless fear mongering such as 'Code Orange' warnings. Living in fear and reacting to fear stimuli tends to manifest the very things we don't want. Living pro-actively is the answer. We need to challenge our government at all levels to take down the react-to-threats flags, orange and red etc, and to put up a large green flag signifying Code Green! We all need to get proactive right now!
Start by supplementing your use of petro-vehicles with an EV or hybrid. Do your homework! Then get an electric moped, or an electric motor bike, or an electric motor scooter and start learning how good they are. How quickly do they recharge, how powerful are they, how far do they go on a charge and how fast, how easily maintained are they? These are things we need to learn in order to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. Check the links below to see our recommendation for a beautiful ride. Be proactive now!
