Every time we step out of our homes, to go to a park, visit a friend, to go to work or to buy our groceries, we use a mode of transport. The choice of the mode impacts both our environment and our health.
Modes of transport
While cars are convenient, most cars burn fossil fuel causing carbon dioxide emissions. The use of cars has grown rapidly in the past decades contributing to climate change.
We can reduce this impact by changing the choices we make. Choosing to walk, cycling, or use public transport as appropriate will reduce pollution and also improve one’s health and mental well-being. Electric cars, car pooling and car clubs are options for when use of cars is essential.
