Most people with a shred of reason would agree with me when I say that biking is a greener alternative to driving cars. But for those who dont, a article from Bicycle NSW proves my claim. In the writing, it mentions that cycling isn't just good for your body, but also for the earth. Bikes do not put out any smog emissions and actually saves around 1.3 tonnes of the harmful greenhouse gases per year (a tonnes is equal to 1,000 kilograms). In comparison, driving cars results in between 900 and 2000 early deaths per year from pollution alone, and over 4,500 cases of bronchitis in urban settings. If the whole world switched to biking as a way to commute, how much better off would the world be from pollution and global warming?
