As we travel towards the next generation, the
question becomes "how do we travel more sustainably?" In
the last 100 years, we have gone from carbohydrate-powered transportation
(the horse), to hydrocarbon-powered transportation (the engine). This
transformation from a plant based energy source, to a fossil fuel
one is the main reason for today's environmental pollution, climate
change and political strife. What can we do as conscious consumers
to ease the strain on Mother Nature's finite resources?
We can minimize our personal impact on the environment and preserve
the earth for future generations. Whether it's walking, riding a bike,
car pooling, buying a hybrid car or switching to plant-based bio-fuels,
how we choose to change our traveling ways can have a positive effect
on the environment around us. Let's ride! Please send in your comments
and any personal stories about how you have made a shift towards alternative
transportation to: offthegrid@voiceyourself.com.
