Green ways to travel
With gas prices hitting new record highs every day, it seems like everybody is looking for a cheaper way to get around. Maybe you really care about the environment! Whatever the reasons, here are a few eco-friendly ways to travel.
Electric Scooter. One one battery charges, you can travel about 50 miles. This is perfect for running to the grocery store, the post office, and other local things you have to do. You won't use hardly any gas, and you can find some shortcuts and back roads to get you there faster!
Electric Scooter. It might not sound as appealing as a scooter, but it might be a lot more convenient. You won't be able to travel as far, but if you use it to get to a bus station, subway or light rail, you can travel long distances (thanks to public transportation) with this small gadget.
Electric Car. You've probably heard of electric cars by now. They've been very well developed the last few years, so even the lazier and less eco-caring among us can still benefit from an electric car. With gas prices this high, anybody can benefit.
Walk or Bike. You might think "that's so last century", but you would be dead wrong. Biking doesn't take any gasoline and it's very healthy for you. So is talking obviously, but it will take you longer to get where you're going. If you do bike, make sure to invest in a bike lock so you don't lost that bad boy.
Think outside the box. If you work close to somebody you work with, carpool. Even if it's just one of two days a week you will both (or all) save money. If you live far away from work, offer to pickup people on your way if they chip in a little bit for your gas. Times are tough so anything with help
