We want to take advantage of the fact that today is the International Earth Day to call on everybody to stop and think about protecting our planet, and the role played by big cities in looking after the environment.
There are all sorts of small actions that we can all do as city residents to make today a time for raising awareness of how to support the well-being of our planet.
How can we contribute with a sustainable mobility to protect the Earth?
- Be responsible when moving around the city: be sure to use sustainable forms of transport, and when not going far, walk. Promote electric vehicles as an alternative way to travel.
- If you use a private vehicle that contributes to air pollution for getting around, share your trips with other people. This will also help to reduce traffic congestion.
- Optimize the energy of your electric vehicle, regulating energy consumption so that the internal temperature of the vehicle will be adequate. Decelerate while driving to generate electricity that will be sent to the car battery. Activate the Eco mode if you use hybrid vehicles.
- In case of electric vehicles, recharge them using normal charging connectors. These are the best choice in terms of both security and sustainability. Batteries should not be fully recharged.
- At work, encourage healthy habits among your colleagues. Promote a responsible use of polluting private vehicles and electromobility.
The best way to celebrate Earth Day in our city
We need to be fully aware of the importance of living in self-sufficient cities that reuse their own waste, are full of green spaces, and offer sustainable alternative forms of transport. This is a first step on the road to taking care of our planet.
Happy Earth Day!
