Cycle to work - My first step to eco friendliness

Achievement is an achievement, whether its a small or big, doesn't matter. This month, I achieved something, which may be the first step to many more achievements. I have a some kind of awareness on health & environment more than the people around me. I want to do so many things for environment and I really can do so many things. But where to start??

In terms of transportation, we feel we improved a lot. We got scooters, bikes, cars, bus.We can travel a long distance in minutes without much of human effort. But in reality, my journey to office is filled with Air Pollution, Sound pollution, Horns, Traffic jams, Irritation etc. Every hike in petrol or diesel is again an extra burden.

A small key can open a big lock. In the same way, A small idea can fix so many problems. For me the bicycle looks like a better solution. With cycle I'm no more polluting the environment. I can avoid main roads, indeed shortcuts will also have trees and helps me to take good oxygen. No sound pollution. No traffic jams. No need to worry for petrol or diesel hikes. My journey time lessened from 75 to 40 minutes.

The bonus advantage for cycling is, 7 calories will be burnt every minute. Which reduces the risk of diabetes and heart problems in future.
