The Best Alternatives to Driving

A personal list of the best alternatives to driving


I'm just going to go over something that has probably been covered elsewhere a lot, but I'm going to go over some of the best alternatives to driving. It is a little bit of common sense, but these are tried and true methods. They lower pollution, your carbon footprint and some even give you spare time to do other things while you're along for the ride! Without any further ado, lets hop right into this topic!

The first method I'm going to mention works perfectly for big cities and is easily one of my favorites. Taking the bus easily one of the best alternatives to driving and it gives you plenty of free time during the trip. I personally use this since it's available in my area and it takes me everywhere I need to go. I also write most of my articles on the bus too since it gives me that spare time. There's plenty of ways to check if your area has public transportation or you might have already seen the buses in your area! They lower the amount of cars spitting out exhaust and a lot of them are hybrid engine buses or electric streetcars!

The next one of the best alternatives to driving is the good old bicycle. This one is perfect for people that are mindful of their health or looking for a way to add another workout into their busy schedule. It's perfect for the summertime, but when you're in the winter you're seriously going to want to look into buses or the next option for the best alternatives to driving I'll be mentioning.

The last option I want to mention it's one that's less common nowadays. This option is carpooling and has basically the same concept behind it as public transportation does. It lowers the amount of cars on the roads and at the same time gives you co workers or friends to make the trip more bearable and enjoyable. Usually vans are thought of when you think of carpooling but about any vehicle can be used for carpooling and it will save gas in the long run too!

To Become Self-Sufficient, There’s One Necessary Item

To Become Self-Sufficient, There’s One Necessary Item I’ve been going on about becoming self-sufficient and making sure that everything you have in your house is safe for your family. I haven’t mentioned much on the best methods to reach that self-sufficient point yet though. One of the hands-down best ways to achieve this self-sufficiency is owning a greenhouse. A greenhouse will allow you to get your gardening going without having to worry about neighborhood animals coming in and getting to your harvest before you do. It also allows you to have your garden a bit before and after the actual gardening seasons started or ended. It protects all your yearly efforts and starts a personalized biome for them as well. I personally have been looking at the Abba Patio Walk-In greenhouse for myself and been pouring over it's reviewing online. I’ve seen a lot of them going for either the worst greenhouse possible or the best one yet. Then after going through about 30 of them, I n...

Like Aquaman, it’s wave power!

Like Aquaman, it’s wave power! I apologize for not having an article yesterday, but here’s something worth noting for certain to make up for it! There’s been a new type of energy generator out on the market and it is spectacular. It literally uses the motions in bodies of water to power it’s generators. The ‘wave power’ is something that has been in the makings for a while, and by a while I mean 1890 was when the first attempt was made. The first experimental wave farm was opened in Portugal in 2008 and gets most of its power from the daytime tidal power by the arms connected to it’s floats turning the generators to create power. The wave heights are determined by the winds passing over the ocean, but the bigger the wave, the more the power that is created from these generators that is purely green energy. These are still experimental to say the least but they are looking more and more promising every revision they go through. I hope you find this article interesting to say th...
