Think Green, Think Public Transportation

Choosing public transportation can be an easy way to live a more eco-friendly lifestyle. Using public transportation helps to ease congestion, reduce emissions and ease our dependence on fossil fuels.

Public transportation produces 95% less carbon monoxide and half as much carbon dioxide, per passenger mile, then a private vehicle. Each year, public transportation saves 1.4 billion gallons of gas.

Investing in public transportation has many economic benefits like boosting positive economic development; enhancing real estate values; and providing access, opportunity and personal mobility.

So, if taking public transportation is possible you should think twice next time you get in your car. And, if you’re worried about the social stigma of riding the loser cruiser get over it; it’s cool to be green now.

This is What I Learned at The Exhibit

American Museum of Natural History New York
Climate Change: The Threat to Life and New Energy Future
October 18, 2008 - August 16, 2009

Earth’s climate is changing. The earth is warming and weather patterns are shifting. And, science has proven over and over that its a result of human actions; not natural occurrences.

We’ve already seen major changes like the melting of glaciers, increase in the number of forest fires and the consequences societies are facing due to severe storms and droughts.

What can we do?

We can all make small changes to our daily lives and these small changes will add up to big differences. Better public engagement will make for better policy making. We need the Environmental Protection Agency to get back to working for a cleaner, healthier environment.

Innuendo and Subtlety

Incredible advertising. Schick’s straight forward approach to selling more razors to women is hilarious. Their cheeky little message about trimming the ol' hedges is marketing genius.
