As we all know, there is pollution everywhere we go and more so in other places. It has been more polluted than ever due to companies overseas and here in the US. An efficient way to save us from all the harmful substances, we can ride a bike to places that we need to get to. The Science Daily news talks about how they are trying to make it more portable for people to use bikes to go places than to use fuel emitters. In England, there are several different spots that people can “borrow” a bike and return it somewhere else when they get to their destination. Since they started, the conflict of the situation was that there were too many bikes that are dropped off at one place and not enough at another. This meant they could not borrow bikes if there weren’t any at the site. Fortunately, they solved the problem by moving bikes around in trucks to places that were short of bicycles. They have already achieved 1,400 places alone in Paris that can loan you the bike to get to your destination and then drop it off at another location when you have reached your destination. They also started looking into the program for New York which is good because the roads are always busy and filled with cars.
This is a great opportunity to help the world save our economy and our planet. Since there is so much pollution going in the world, the last thing we need is to make it worse. The bicycles are efficient and will clear out the roads a bit more. This will help lessen the pollution in the air and help benefit those with asthma or bronchitis in areas that have severe pollution. This can also help us prevent accidents from happening on the road. I think they should invest in the US because it can really benefit us from emitting harmful substances into the air that we breathe.
