1000 Flowers for the Planet - #107 Use Public Transport

1000 Flowers for the Planet - #107 Use Public Transport

If you can’t walk or ride a bicycle to work, the next best thing would be to use public transport. Moving people around en mass is a better use of resources such as petrol/gas or electricity. Apparently the transport system in Europe is particularly good. Sadly in Melbourne, Australia it’s not so good, but it’s still a better option for the sake of the planet. Take a book, Ipod, Ipad or newspaper and learn something new during your commute, or simply sit and look at your environment and find some joy in your home town. There’s plenty to see. And if you can pluck up enough courage, talk to the person next to you – they’re only a stranger until you introduce yourself. You already have something in common! You both use public transport. Go you!
