- Green transport
Green transport is a category of
sustainable transport which uses human power, animal power andrenewable energy . In common usagepublic transport is considered a green transport option in comparison with private vehicles, as iscar pooling . But some people prefer a definition that does not includepublic transport orvehicle movements which relies on non-renewable energy.Green transport includes:
*walking
*cycling and some other types ofhuman-powered transport
*Green vehicles
**solar powered vehicles
**wind powered vehicles Often there can be a sliding scale of green transport depending on the sustainabilty of the option. Public transport on traditional diesel buses uses less fuel per passenger than private vehicles so is more green than private vehicles, but is not as green as using a solar powered bus. It can often be useful to talk about moving a community towards the ultimate green mode transport outcomes - instead of declaring that they are there if they cross a particular sustainability threshold. Walking across sensitive environments can often cause considerable damage and so is not always the greenest option.
Green transportation is for reducing the environmental damage originated in individual's use of cars and light trucks.
