We all will agree to the fact that avoiding usage of fossil fuels is not possible; however, we can change our means of travelling. Instead of travelling in a car for every small trip, we can use bicycles i.e., if the living system of our country supports the idea of travelling by bicycle or if we have to go to a place nearby, we can always walk.
Always give preference to travelling in public transport if you are going for a long journey. The number of cars has increased tremendously across the world in the last decade. If we travel through other means of transport rather than using our own cars, we can reduce the rush on the roads, which will reduce carbon footprint tremendously. Use gas heaters instead of using electrical heaters and lower your thermostats to 20 degrees or less. We need to understand that little changes on our end can help a lot in reducing the carbon footprint.
It is very important to understand what Carbon Footprint is and how it is produced. Basically, it is the amount of carbon dioxide produced by things that we use in our daily lives, for instance, fuels like gas and diesel, electricity and other modern equipments used in our daily routine that result in carbon emissions.
As responsible human beings, we all should know that the increase in the level of carbon dioxide is one of the major reasons of global warming. It is very important to understand the reasons of global warming and then work on eradicating them to save the environment we live in.
There are a lot of ways of reducing carbon footprint, which can be done easily and individually. All we need to do is analyze our daily routine and make some appropriate changes on our end. Planting trees is a very good way to reduce carbon footprints. You should plant as many trees as you can in your home and neighborhood.
The popularity of riding a bike continues to increase. The boost can be at least partially explained by a couple of factors. One being more and more individuals are making an effort to reduce their carbon footprint and are using the bike as a form of transportation. Very few will ride their bike to work every day, but many bike enthusiasts will make an effort to cycle to work at least once a week and certainly more often with nicer weather. The second reason to explain additional riders on the streets and bike paths is more and more people are concerned about their fitness. Cycling on a demanding pace for 30-60 minutes a day can help improve cardiovascular health.
Bicycle shops should take advantage of the increased levels of interest with a proactive marketing campaign. Promotional postcards can be used to advertise a sale, new inventory, or a new store location. Postcards work well because they can be designed in full color and incorporate photographs of bikes and equipment into the layout. They can be mailed to a surrounding area, or specific zip codes which indicate strong demographics for the bike shop. Postcards can also be handed out at local bike races and events.
Over the years, I've done a good deal of long-distance bike riding. I know that when you are riding into the wind it would sure help to have some sort of a teardrop shaped encapsulated bubble to deal with the ever rising coefficient of drag. Just consider how bicycle racing teams get behind each other in a long chain just to help defeat some of the wind to cut down on drag. That's a great idea, and it works quite well, but what happens when you have wind from behind, why not use it to help propel yourself forward?
How hard would this be to design and make? How much would it cost, and would there be any one buying it? I believe if the cost were under $2000 you could sell a good number of them. If the cost were under $500 you'd sell tens of thousands of them. Why couldn't we make it that cheap or rather that inexpensive? The reality is with new material science; material memory and morphing materials we can. The question is who will do it? Indeed I hope you will please consider all this and think on it.
The other day, I was out exercising, and sharing the sidewalk, a rather large sidewalk on the boardwalk with bicyclists and skateboarders. It was slow moving walking against the wind, but then, I noticed folks going the other way. The skateboarders were not pushing their feet as the wind was blowing them along. The bicyclists were easily doing 25 miles per hour or more, and they were only mildly peddling. This got me thinking about some of the very interesting looking cocoon like shells which are used by bicyclists trying to break speed records. I'd like to talk about all this for second if I might.
These shells we see are usually made out of fiberglass, and they look like a giant teardrop. However, with the materials we have today there's no reason that teardrop in the rear couldn't turn into a convex cone. That is to say that if you looked at it from the rear it would look like a radar dish. If you had morphing materials which would allow that giant teardrop to change shape you would sure be able to help yourself to some free wind from the rear when the wind was blowing substantially. Better yet you wouldn't have to peddle. However fast the wind was blowing behind you is the speed you'd be able to easily maintain.
