• Eco-Friendly Vehicles

  

  Around about the turn of the 20th century, electric cars had been outselling gas-powered vehicles for years, and many observers assumed that this would always be the case. But several factors, including the increasing supply and consequent reduction in price of gasoline, helped to bring about the dominance of automobiles that operate on fossil fuels, and it wasn’t long before the market for electric cars disappeared altogether. A century later, though, the drawbacks of petroleum-based transportation are more widely acknowledged than ever before, and it now appears that the electric car is due for a well-deserved comeback as demand increases and new companies arise to fulfill it.

• A 100 Mile Revolution

  

  One of the most inspiring experiments to occur in the last few years is the “100 Mile Diet” first proposed by Alisa Smith and J.B. MacKinnon in 2005. Building upon the concept of buying foods locally within a one hundred mile radius of your home. By reducing the need for foods transported from different countries and across the nation, consumers also reduce their associated fossil fuel consumption. By simply eating food locally, Smith and MacKinnon proposed that you as an individual consumer could become environmentally friendly. Inspiring thousands of people, this environmentally friendly shopping has been instrumental in reviving the family farm while encouraging people to eat locally.

• Energy Conservation

  

  Energy conservation is not a new concept. The way and the speed at which we are burning away our available quota of fossil fuels, the day is not far away when we’ll have nothing of it left and the entire planet would be doomed into darkness. Imagine a situation where there is no gas for your car and no coal to produce electricity. Imagine a planet where there is no electricity and no phones, I am sure you can already imagine how dreadful such a scenario would be. The only probable way to avert such a crisis from occurring is by switching over to alternative energy resources and by conserving whatever we have in the best possible ways.

This implosion that resulted in the loss of many homes and jobs have forced people to look closer at their incomes and where their money is going. Saving money by conserving energy has thus gained more attention as consumers grow more aware simultaneously of the impact of fossil fuels on the environment. Hence, saving energy can help both the environment and your wallet.
