Transportation can also be environmentally friendly

One of the major air pollutants is transportation. The emission of CO2 gases and fuels impact the environment in a very profound way. However, Gustavo Copelmayer points out, the use of bicycles with an eco-sustainable sense has been expanding in the world. Today, the concept of e-bikes is penetrating the market at a very fast rate. This transportation sector represents a non-polluting public approach that eventually a large percentage of the population will hopefully use on a daily basis. In this sense, one of the most notable projects is the Spinlister website, a platform that allows users to rent or lend bicycles in more than 65 countries.

In some tourist cities, visitors prefer a more environmentally friendly way to get around, and the two wheels method of transportation is inexpensive and fun. The initiative also promotes a sustainable system and, in some cases, allows access to bicycles quickly and at low cost or even for free, recalls Gustavo Copelmayer and adds that there is an inherent perception of improving traffic and reducing environmental risks which many countries are slowly considering.
