SAVE FUEL

Why is it important to conserve fuel ?

Several reasons: Fuel is an finite resource that we are running out of ! Conservation of fuel will put less of a strain on the global environment. Once over we are never going to get it back.

HEALTHIER WAY TO TRAVEL TO SCHOOL

Rather than buses, vans, auto rickshaws, scooters, don’t you think walking or cycling to school would be better ? A very effective way of increasing physical fitness, which could reduce the chance of heart disease, diabetes, cancer and other diseases ? Rather than keeping us fit its also going to save planet Earth. We need to understand that the choices we make now will shape our opportunities well into the future.

Why don’t we go to school cycling ?

Getting on your cycle doesn’t only get you where you want to go faster than a car, but it also protects you form a wide range of ill health, and also makes you feel better. And most of us say that cycling or walking is going to get you all more exposed to the traffic fumes but don’t be worried because cyclists and pedestrians actually absorb lower levels of pollutants from traffic fumes than car drivers. And its also better than cars because it doesn’t consume fuel and makes us tall and thin !

What about walking ?

If a daily fitness walk could be put in a pill, it would be one of the most popular prescriptions in the world. It has so many health benefits.

SAVE FUEL, SAVE EARTH !

PLASTIC ROADS

ADVANTAGES OF PLASTIC ROADS

friendly.

DISADVANTAGES OF PLASTIC ROADS

definitely release noxious HCl gas.After the road laying: The components of the roads

once laid are not inert.

Online ShoppingOnline shopping saves fuel… Many benefits are gained by online shopping. Because of money saving

and quick convenience, people from all over the world are adapting to this latest way of shopping. Fuels like petrol and diesel have ever-rising prices. Even traffic jams are forcing people to go for e-shopping.

Rather than travelling to far-off markets, shopping in virtual bazaars is more preferable. For example: if you want to buy a hand-bag, you go to a shop but you’re not satisfied with it. You can save your fuel, energy and time just by logging on to your computer.
