HISTORY OF EARTH DAY
The first Earth Day was celebrated in 1969 witnessing the destruction of the large oil spill in Santa Barbara California. The response of this Earth Day was a completely unified response to an environment under the strong attack from pollution. In the year 1970, the first protest was witnessed by 20 million North Americans taking to the streets to demand the protection of the environment. It started from that time and continues today with flagging high hopes of restoring and recovering the earth with more natural resources.
Save Energy, Reduce Pollution by Staying at Home
On this Earth Day let’s take a step forward of avoiding using our vehicles and go for a walk. A day of not using our vehicles will create tremendous change in pollution affecting mother Earth. As per recent studies, two-wheelers stand next to the diesel truck. Even the experts are claiming that it will be immature to ignore bikes if you are planning to develop a long-term plan for the control of air pollution. In reality, taking this day as an escape and not using your two-wheeler will make a difference which as a citizen should prioritize.
Did you know the facts?
- Not many people know that technology, maintenance, and driving skills affect motorcycle emissions. A poorly tuned engine emits out waste of 10-20 percent which if takes a halt for a day will save 15% of the energy.
- The low tyre pressure can waste 7 percent of the total fuel. It is important to have a proper air pressure for better mileage that saves money and less carbon emission is witnessed in the atmosphere protecting the environment.
- Never overfill your tank this will emit harmful fumes which is dangerous for the environment.
- Try not to over speed. Driving fast increases the emission rate. The speed of 8kmph results in 6% of the average fuel economy.
- You should refill your bike tank in the evening. It is because the tank experiences a cool temperature which means less ozone formation. When the temperature is cool, the gas turns dense, this means the liquid is more than fumes. This results in less fuel wastage and less evaporation of it.
Thus, staying one day at home will help you to add value on this Earth Day. COVID-19 Cases are also increasing this will also help overall to have a safer life and safer earth as a whole. CredR wishes a very happy and hopeful restoration of mother Earth on this Earth Day 22nd April 2021.
