Transport
Simplicity
Vehicles
contribute maximum green house gases. Hence so much importance
is given to this source of pollution for Home Yoga Practitioners.
Home Yoga changes itself as ‘Car Yoga’ (or two wheeler
yoga) for the same reasons.
They are dealt as three subjects
fewer than three heads such as
-
-
-
The vehicle, which you own a car, motor
cycle or truck helps you for transportation. You ensure
it also helps environment. Whether it helps or not, it
should not harm environment. Hence you must practice
Car Yoga (or Motor Cycle Yoga). Transport Simplicity
is part of Car Yoga.
Fossil fuel is not going to be
there forever. Use of fossil fuel also creates harmful
smoke including greenhouse gases which are responsible
for the Green House Effect.
Transport Simplicity means minimum
use of automobiles, both, two wheeler and four wheeler.
Principles of Transport Simplicity
-
The first principle is using the God given gift for movement.
Yes, use your legs as much as possible. You save fuel
and money. You prevent exhaust emissions. Thirdly a very
good physical exercise which of course will help you
in your physical fitness. Use of vehicles for transportation
for places quite nearby should be avoided. There are
people who use automobile for going to the next road,
that too for walking in the park there.
-
Second choice:
Why not use bicycle? By use of bicycle, you save money
that you spend on petrol. You save petrol for the future
generation. You prevent air pollution. You actually do
a physical exercise. By cycling you practice simplicity.
If you feel shy to do it alone, start using bicycle as
a group. To know more about it visit our website www.exnoracyclist.com as well as www.principledsimplicity.com Make cycling
fashionable.
-
The third is use of public transport,
bus, tram, train, mini bus etc. Develop the attitude
for using public transport. It will take little more
time, it save you from the strain of driving the vehicle,
saves you money spent towards the fuel, reduces air pollution,
reduces traffic congestion, etc. But the extra time taken
by public transport can be made beneficial use by reading
books.
-
Next choice is using a two wheeler , motor
cycle or scooter;
-
The final choice is using car. Buy
a car that gives maximum mileage and causes less pollution.
The best contribution that you can make for cooling the
Globe is to drive a vehicle which gives better mileage
per litter. Every litter of gas that we burn in our cars
and trucks creates 3 kg of carbon dioxide pollution.
Two KGs directly from the vehicle’s exhaust and one KG
from refining and transporting the fuel. Put conditions
to yourself that you will use car only when go with the
whole family
-
If you have many tasks to be done at
many places try to complete them in the same day. Draw
your plan in such a way that you are able to complete
the task in different places in the order they are geographically
situated you save fuel. Use always roads which have less
traffic and well tarred.
