Lesson 21

Trains, Buses And Cars
電車、バス、自動車

Today most countries are aware of the impact commuting can have on the environment both in a positive and in a negative manner. Many of our older types of transportation for commuting have been very detrimental to our environment and have caused damage that will take many years to correct if at all possible.

If we continue to use the methods that have been negatively affecting our environment we will destroy it beyond the point where we can repair it. We must do everything that we can to act responsibly on this issue in order to ensure the next generations will have a healthy and friendly environment in which to live. A side effect of taking positive action will also help to cut down on the health issues caused by non-environmental transportation commuting.

We may ask ourselves, “How can we have a positive effect on the transportation industry?” When we have to commute, we can use the most positive environmental type of transportation. We can attend meetings and speak up to let our leaders know that we care and urge them to move in a positive direction.
