ZipCar: The New Hybrid
For the benefit of everyone else and the society, It is important to take down several ways of green living to keep our planet healthy. For transportation, everyone is encouraged to use bicycles, or ride buses to prevent belching. The fewer cars there are the less pollution in our planet.
Zip Car is a company who produces Hybrid cars and encourages people to try on car sharing. All though some people are not comfortable with this, it is essential to keep in mind that our planet needs help.
From their website:
“Imagine a world with one million fewer cars on the road. We do. Every day we are working towards a place with less dependence on personally-owned vehicles. Why? Because it matters. Less cars on the road means less congestion, less pollution, less dependence on oil, and cleaner, fresher air to breathe. Some folks don’t believe it’s possible for car sharing to have such a huge impact.”
Each and every Zipcar takes 15-20 personally-owned vehicles off the road. Multiply that by the more than 6,500 cars in our fleet and you’ve got a really big number.
After joining Zipcar, 90% of our members drove 5,500 miles or less per year. That adds up to more than 32 million gallons of crude oil left in the ground—or 219 gallons saved per Zipster.
10% of the population is expected to adopt car sharing as their primary mode of transportation. Break it down and you have millions of people saving billions of gallons of gas and oil. Factor in the savings and you’ve got an economic revolution.
Zipcar members save more than $500 (vs. car ownership). What would you do with an extra $500 a month? Many Zipsters put it back into their communities by buying local and sustainable products.
We pride ourselves—and our members—on redefining what green looks like. We’re not one kind of person, or a specific group of people. Everyone—from businessmen to freshmen is getting on board. Drive a hybrid, or even an BMW; around here they’re all green.”
Driving a hybrid car can be an enormous impact on the environment. Since a group of people have been using this automobile, it is vital to try and make a few changes for the environment.
