Green+Transportation

There is a lot of talk these days on "green". One of the biggest sources of pollution in North America is transportation. What are green ways of moving about? Let's keep in mind as we check these forms of transportation out, which ones will help you as a person with a visual impairment. Is the future friendly?

Let's look at a diagram that ranks the MOST "green" types of transportation to the LEAST "green" form of transportation. media type="file" key="Green Transportation Diagram.mp3"

The diagram above is an upside down triangle that is organized to rank green transportation as follows: 1. Pedestrians 2. Bicycles 3. Public Transport 4. Commercial Vehicles 5. Taxis 6. High Occupancy Vehicles 7. Single Occupancy Vehicles

Questions 1. Explain each ranking. For example-Pedestrians are the MOST green form of transportation because it causes NO emissions (neither doing it, or in manufacturing anything like a vehicle). Do the best you can, you might not have a reason for all, try though! 2. Which one of the of the seven do you think most people use to go to work in Canada? What about in a country that is much poorer than Canada like Cuba?
