Related background:

Green travel refers to adopting relatively environmentally friendly travel methods to achieve environmental resources through carbon emission reduction and carbon neutrality sustainable utilization and sustainable development of transportation. The development of the automobile industry has brought speed and convenience to mankind, but at the same time, the development of automobiles has also caused energy consumption and air pollution.

In economically developed cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, the average proportions of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and fine particulate matter emitted by motor vehicles are 80%, 75%, 68%, and 50%, becoming the largest source of air pollution in these cities. Pollution damages human health and turns into an economic burden.

Automobiles are the fastest growing source of greenhouse gas emissions, and the growth rate of transportation energy consumption in the world ranks first among all industries. Cars also cause noise pollution, damaging human health and the ecological environment. The rapid increase in the number of cars has clogged roads and led to low efficiency, making it impossible to realize the speed, comfort and efficiency that cars were supposed to bring.

Specific actions:

Travel methods that save energy, improve energy efficiency, reduce pollution, are beneficial to health and take into account efficiency are called green travel.

In a city like Beijing, if conditions permit, everyone should try to take public transportation such as subways, city rails, and buses; try to share cars to reduce vacancy rates ; Self-driving cars can achieve environmentally friendly and civilized driving; when the air quality is good and the distance is suitable, walking, cycling and other transportation methods are adopted. This is "green travel".
