Green Transportation
Green transport, or sustainable transport, uses human power, animal power, public transportation, smart design, and renewable energy. In common usage public transport is considered a green transport option in comparison with private vehicles, as is car pooling. But some people prefer a definition that does not include public transport or vehicle uses which rely on non-renewable energy.
In general, green transport includes:- Walking
- Cycling and other types of human-powered transport
- Green vehicles
- Solar powered vehicles
- Wind powered vehicles
- Water powered vehicles
Often there a sliding scale is applied to green transport depending on the sustainability of the option. Public transport via traditional diesel buses uses less fuel per passenger than private vehicles, but this method is not as environmentally friendly as using a hybrid electric powered bus. Ultimately, the goal of green transportation is to reduce the environmental damage from use of cars and trucks, and to reduce greenhouse gases.
