3 reasons why cycling benefits the planet
Getting around by bicycle not only improves our health and well-being, but also plays a crucial role in protecting the environment. And in these times when our attention to climate change and the fight to reduce pollution must be increasing, choosing to cycle is one of the most sustainable decisions we can make. Below, we tell you why.
1. You reduce polluting gas emissions
Motor vehicles are one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, responsible for global warming. Bicycles, on the other hand, have zero polluting emissions. If, when making short or medium trips, instead of using the car, we choose the bicycle, each person could significantly reduce their carbon footprint, in addition to helping to improve air quality.
2. You save natural resources
The production and maintenance of bicycles requires significantly less energy and natural resources compared to cars. In addition, the bikes are more durable and have a longer useful life, which also translates into less waste. All this contributes to long-term environmental conservation.
3. You reduce environmental noise
Noise is another form of pollution that affects the quality of life in cities. It can cause stress, sleep problems, and other negative health effects. But bikes are quiet, which helps create quieter, more pleasant urban environments.
As you see, the bicycle is much more than a simple mode of transportation; It is a powerful tool to combat climate change, reduce pollution and improve quality of life. Opting for the bicycle will undoubtedly develop greater environmental awareness in you. Sign up to ECOBICI and start moving for the planet!
