The Environmentally-Friendly Tesla

One of the most impressive cars on the market today is the Tesla Model S. Despite the fact Tesla didn't release a new car, it was named Consumer Report's Best Car for the second year in a row. Out of all the electric vehicles, Tesla has the most advanced and efficient battery system that allows it to go farther on a single charge, travelling close to 400 km. Having an electric car like this reduces your carbon emissions for most areas of the world. Electric vehicles are more harmful to build, but the negative effects decrease after that. It depends on how the electricity is created, as coal burns dirtier than a gasoline engine. Here in Manitoba, with hydroelectricity, it is definitely a good choice.

 

Bikes

Instead of driving a vehicle everyday to and from school, my friend and I have started to bike the 17km trek to school. We do it on days when we don't have sports, and when the weather and our legs cooperate. Not only is it good for the environment, as it produces zero emissions, it is quite healthy as well. It means that I can get 90 minutes of intense physical activity solely in my commute. It is also quicker than taking a school bus. When I arrive at school in the morning, I am alert and awake. If you don't want to pay the ridiculous price of gasoline or a car, simply ride a bike instead.
