text: Saving the Earth is extremely important and many people are aware of that. However, very few of those people take action. This is primarily because of the way our daily lives are ran. Work is a necessity to support for one's own and their families, so getting to work, whether by car or by bus, is something that will not stop. However, the alternatives of tranportation allow us to reach that goal without using gas-emitting cars or buses. Bikes and even hybrid cars are now rising up in today's society; "A study last year found that driving by young people decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009". (Source #4). Young people have a strong influence on society and if they worry less about the car that they are driving or even driving at all, then there is certainly something going on. Cities are now also taking part in this action, "After days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city... Congestion was down 60 percent in the captial of France..." (Source #2). A simple temporary ban can not only change the mind of an individuals view on using other alternatives for tranportation, but also allow them to experience those alternatives.
