What If, Everyone Changes Their Transportation?
Hello guys!
So, I want to share my
thought about "What if everyone changes their Transportation". It
refers to Everyone's walking, uses bike, bus, trains, or any public
Transportation. The impacts would be breathtaking because it's gonna change the
way we live!
1. Goodbye Traffic jam!
Indonesia, one of
country that has "worst" traffic jam in the world. Here's the
examples : If you go to your office on 05.00 a.m. you can arrive on 06.00 a.m.
But if you go to your office on 05.30 a.m. you will arrive on 08.00 a.m. Believe
me, Indonesia's traffic jam is stressing your mind, and of course, it could
make great loss for its economy growth due to lack of productivity. Just
because ....... Dense population, everyone uses their private transportation,
every car just take 1-2 persons, every motorcycle just take 1 person, and yes,
what you'll get is this!
But, calm down! if we
change it TOGETHER, not only me, but you, and them, everyone's aware with it.
GOODBYE TRAFFIC JAM! Here's why :

See? It's gonna change
your traffic like you've never seen before :))
Let's do
#SmallActMatters because it's worthy if we do it Together!
2. Goodbye Global
warming!
Okey, let's calculating
the Emissions. Imagine that everyday, more than thousands people would go on
same direction. Okey, let's take 50 as example and those 50 person should take
10km distance. If 50 people use their own private car, and currently car will
emit 237.5 gCO2 each km, then we will emit 118.75 kgCO2 everyday.
What if, those 50 person take bus? they will just emit 2.7 kgCO2 everyday.
It's not even 3% of its emit. And yes, this will save us from Global warming
though!
3. Clean Air
Ah, of course by
changing your transportation, it will make our Air quality cleaner! And it will
make others be comfortable to walk or cycling, it will make the atmosphere
cooler! Domino's effect, isn't it?
4. Goodbye Urban Heat
Island!
Well, beside the
building, anthropogenic has great role to make Urban Heat Island (UHI)
phenomenon. It's the condition where Urban's temperature much higher than the
rural, mostly, you can feel it on Indonesia's cities such as Jakarta, Bekasi,
Depok, Tangerang, Medan, Surabaya, and etc. It's because our dense population
and ..... the transportation itself. It can make depressed. If we change our
transportation, there would be no Air pollution (that's being UHI Trigger) and
make the environment cooler. So yeah, goodbye UHI!
See? So many things can
happen to use while we're changing something, even it's just a little thing!
Because #SmallActMatters when we do it TOGETHER! Let's do #ActOnClimate, guys!
