I’m happy to make a contribution so others with less means still have access to information.

If it takes around two minutes to brush your teeth, then that’s 34 litres of needless water consumption for just one person aliu_2025 https://padlet.com/aliu_2025/nt2q06ryabuf/wish/260716580 2018-05-15 04:52:54 UTC https://padlet.com/aliu_2025/nt2q06ryabuf/wish/260716580 I go by texi aliu_2025 https://padlet.com/aliu_2025/nt2q06ryabuf/wish/260716674 2018-05-15 04:53:39 UTC https://padlet.com/aliu_2025/nt2q06ryabuf/wish/260716674 aliu_2025 https://padlet.com/aliu_2025/nt2q06ryabuf/wish/260717024 For the rare person who already lives car-free in a city such as San Francisco, a cab ride or car rental might actually increase their carbon footprint. But the vast majority of American households do own cars. For any city as a whole, more car-sharing and cab apps will actually mean less driving and lower carbon emissions.

Fringe benefit: Not only will you be helping the environment, but you will also be doing something good for your health. By walking, you will also see things you may never have seen in your car. Plus, it is a great chance to interact with others. aliu_2025 https://padlet.com/aliu_2025/nt2q06ryabuf/wish/261084267 2018-05-16 04:18:51 UTC https://padlet.com/aliu_2025/nt2q06ryabuf/wish/261084267 In December 1970, the U.S. Department of Transportation reported more than 89.9 billion vehicle miles traveled. By December 2011, that number inflated to unfathomable heights: more than 246.3 trillion vehicle miles traveled. But, what has this exponential increase in car usage done to the environment? According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, more than half of the air pollution in the nation comes from vehicles, primarily automobiles. In addition to air pollution, cars have the potential to pollute the environment through the toxic fluids they contain, which can be harmful if leaked or disposed of improperly. And, besides pollution, cars emit greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming. So, now that we have established that automobile use can have a deleterious effect on the environment, what can we do to change that? For starters, we can try to decrease the vehicle miles we travel. In honor of Earth Day, here are six ways you can do that and their fringe benefits: aliu_2025 https://padlet.com/aliu_2025/nt2q06ryabuf/wish/261084821 2018-05-16 04:22:56 UTC https://padlet.com/aliu_2025/nt2q06ryabuf/wish/261084821 aliu_2025 https://padlet.com/aliu_2025/nt2q06ryabuf/wish/261085992 2018-05-16 04:30:53 UTC https://padlet.com/aliu_2025/nt2q06ryabuf/wish/261085992 aliu_2025 https://padlet.com/aliu_2025/nt2q06ryabuf/wish/261086666 2018-05-16 04:34:40 UTC https://padlet.com/aliu_2025/nt2q06ryabuf/wish/261086666 aliu_2025 https://padlet.com/aliu_2025/nt2q06ryabuf/wish/261086748 2018-05-16 04:35:08 UTC https://padlet.com/aliu_2025/nt2q06ryabuf/wish/261086748
