Public Transport!🚌

"The greenhouse effect is a warming of Earth’s surface and the air above it. It is caused by gases in the air that trap energy from the Sun. These heat-trapping gases are called greenhouse gases. The most common greenhouse gases are water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane. Without the greenhouse effect, Earth would be too cold for life to exist."

When I was small, I never understood why public transport was better for the environment than cars. I guess I thought that since it was bigger and there were loads of people on it, it would let out more fumes. But now I know.

So. Public Transport. Buses, trains, trams, cable cars, tubes, etc. You probably know this, but the reason why public transport is better for the environment is because they move more people with fewer vehicles, meaning they will reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

    "Land, oceans, and plants absorb, or soak up, energy from sunlight. They release some of this energy as heat. Greenhouse gases absorb the heat and then send it back toward Earth. Without greenhouse gases, this heat would escape back into space.

Scientists believe that human activities are increasing the greenhouse effect. When people drive a car or operate a factory they burn coal, oil, and other fossil fuels. This adds extra greenhouse gases to the air, and the extra gases trap more heat. Many scientists think that this has led to global warming, or a steady rise in the average temperature of Earth’s surface."

I got most of that from Britannica Kids, just so you know this isn't from my brains.😂

Don't forget, you can also cycle to places since that is keeping you and the environment healthy. But also, if you live in an area with not much public transport, don't feel guilty since you have an excuse. Just try to do as many errands in one car journey as you can!

Thank you for reading this blog. Yes, most of it was made up of the definition but I hope you got the point of this tip🤩. See you next Sunday!
