How The E-Scooter Helps Lessen Environmental Pollution

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to see the grass, the trees, and the natural scenery, all lush, vivid and green? How about watching, amazed as glistening dewdrops fall from the leaves, and then reveling in the feeling, in the gentle sway of the wind upon your skin as you breeze past the greenery, riding on your lightweight electric scooter.

Best of all, the air is smog-free.

For those who enjoy riding their way to work or going out on personal errands, these convenient electric-powered rideables like the electric scooters offer a great advantage over other vehicles.

For one, they are eco-friendly. These compact electric scooters do several things that help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, aside from reducing traffic, and increasing efficiency.

To the question, if electric scooters are good for the environment, they are more than good. They are great as they don’t result in greenhouse gas emissions. Using the e-scooter lessens the need for cars and buses, which helps ease traffic congestion, and this helps to further decrease pollution. Cars, trucks, buses, and motorcycles are predominantly powered by gas, and burning it releases significant greenhouse gases. Traffic causes pollution, but did you know that heavy traffic build-up causes extra pollution than usual?

In case you’re not aware, traffic accounts for about one-fifth of all emissions. The average gas-powered vehicle out there releases 404 grams of CO2 for every mile it travels. Given that there are billions of vehicles in the world, it certainly makes one of the biggest threats to our planet.

Worse, they release other greenhouse gases. Although the gas is not that high in quantity, they have worse greenhouse effects. Those gases include methane and nitrogen oxide.

Cars and other fuel-consuming vehicles burn the most fuel when accelerating. This is true when going from standing still to moving, and the same is also true when decreasing speed. A car will spend extra fuel and give off more pollutants when braking or coming to a stop. Burning fuel releases energy faster than using batteries. Cars are massive as they use most of that energy to transport the vehicle itself. And the biggest efficiency losses and pollution happen because of the wasteful use of cars. Can you imagine a single individual driving a car? It is not efficient.

- Electric scooters, however, are energy-efficient, consuming only a small amount of electricity compared to a household appliance. Another upside is that the e-scooter’s batteries are recyclable so the potential environmental problem regarding their haphazard disposal is addressed. Electric scooters were designed as such, to avoid fossil fuels from the ground up.

Since electric scooters run on rechargeable batteries, they will never release greenhouse gases. Imagine, if every person leaves their car at home and takes their electric scooter instead, one car that contributes to traffic is removed. About 400 grams of carbon dioxide per mile is eliminated. Now, isn’t that something?

Case in point, electric scooters are immune to traffic clogging. The micro-mobile devices also referred to as electric scooters are easy to maneuver since they are small, so they will never get trapped between anything. Not only do they not get stuck in traffic, but they also help reduce bottlenecks. Simply put, every electric scooter one rides means one less car out on the road. This is what electric scooter efficiency means.

Best of all, electric scooters rarely weigh more than a dozen kilograms and carry only their weight and the weight of one person, the rider.

Did you know that the e-scooter can go to amazing ranges? The Mearth GTS Max on-and-off-road electric champion can even go over a hundred kilometers on a single charge. Electric scooters are most efficient at transporting a single person.

All of the reasons mentioned entwine in a very powerful way as portable electric scooters extend a great solution to prevalent problems with pollution.

Mearth is a proven environmentally conscious and responsible manufacturer of quality and high-performing electric scooters. No matter how one looks at it, an electric scooter will still be cleaner than any fossil fuel vehicle. Since they are energy-efficient, they do not cost a lot of electricity too. The increase in productivity that Mearth’s electric scooters provide is well worth the few kilowatt-hours it costs to charge the batteries. In conclusion, electric scooters by and large, do not spew out harmful emissions and this is what makes them ideal for the environment.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
