This document discusses the benefits of carsharing and driving less to promote sustainability. It notes that personal car use significantly contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and each mile driven emits 1 pound of carbon dioxide. Carsharing allows people to own fewer cars as the average member drives 50% less after joining due to reduced traffic, parking, and costs. Driving less through carsharing helps reduce one's carbon footprint, conserves green space since cars are parked most of the time, improves health by encouraging exercise and time outdoors, and saves people nearly $700 per month on average in ownership costs. The document describes how carsharing works through an affordable membership and reserving vehicles online or by phone to use for trips.

Car exhaust is a major source of air pollution that harms human health and the environment. It is produced when fuel is burned in car engines. The United States and China are the top producers of car exhaust pollution due to large vehicle populations. Car exhaust contains harmful chemicals like benzene that can cause cancer, damage lungs, and affect blood cells. Many countries and car companies are working to reduce car exhaust by improving vehicle fuel efficiency and developing alternative fuel vehicles.
Green cars
A green car is an environmentally friendly vehicle that uses less petrol, renewable energy, or alternative fuels like hydrogen, electricity, or biodiesel to help protect the environment. There are several types of green cars including hybrids, which combine a gas engine and electric motor; electric cars, which run solely on battery power; hydrogen cars, which use hydrogen as fuel; and biodiesel cars, which operate on biodegradable fuel. Green cars benefit the environment by reducing air pollution, being cheaper to run, minimizing smog and acid rain, and helping to limit global warming and its impacts on health, plants, and animals.

Uses of Bicycle Instead of cars/Bikes in LPU Campus
Bicycles provide environmental benefits over motor vehicles by not burning fossil fuels or producing harmful emissions, reducing air pollution. Commuting by bicycle can prevent between 0.7 and 1.9 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year depending on the type of vehicle otherwise used. Motor vehicles are major sources of air pollution that increases health risks like respiratory illness and premature death. Using bicycles for transportation instead of driving can help address traffic, pollution, and public health issues while also providing individual health benefits and cost savings over automobile ownership and operation.
Eumind final green trips
The document discusses various ways to make trips greener. It recommends saving fuel by carpooling, reducing plastic waste by recycling, and engaging in online shopping which reduces the need for transportation. Walking or cycling to school is promoted as a healthier option that saves fuel while providing fitness benefits. Using a portion of plastic waste in road construction can reduce costs while generating jobs and using a renewable material. However, toxic chemicals in plastics may leach and gases released during construction. Overall, adopting greener transportation habits like public transit, carpooling, cycling and reducing consumption can benefit both environmental and personal health.
FACT
1) When measuring door-to-door travel time for short trips under 5km in an urban area, bicycles can generally be faster than other modes of transportation due to congestion.
2) Cycling provides health benefits such as helping people meet daily activity goals, controlling weight, and reducing stress and disease risk. It is recommended that adults get at least 30 minutes of moderate activity per day.
3) Cycling can save money on transportation costs compared to driving. It costs less than $1 per day to maintain a bike versus over $7,500 annually for an average car.
