Environment & green issues
Transport is to blame for approx 30% of green house gases...
With road traffic in Britain predicted to grow by over 160% in the next 20 -30 years we need to take action today.
Cars Emit One Pound of Carbon For Every Mile Travelled.
Thats the equivalent of the vehicles own weight in carbon in just 6000 miles travelled (average yearly mileage of a typical family vehicle is 12,000 miles). Two-stroke petrol mopeds emit up to eight times more pollution than cars. Vehicle emissions contain a cocktail of pollutants, including benzene, carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen dioxide, ozone and sulphur dioxide.
Of most concern are fine particles that can penetrate into the smallest part of the lungs and have been linked to cancer. (Source: Energy Saving Trust)
The global warming that may be associated with greenhouse gas emissions could result in an average global temperature rise of 1.5-4.5 deg C by 2050.
Electric Mopeds/Scooters are 99% less polluting than the cleanest fossil-fuel vehicles. At Ecomoped™ we recommend you check your utility supplier generates clean and environmentally friendly electricity. You can then enjoy carbon free travel as often as you wish. Together we really can make the difference.
Human-caused global warming is here.
