We're all getting greener, and more organizations are boasting about being environmentally friendly. You might have noticed a stamp on your morning cup of coffee declaring that it’s made of recycled materials, or you might have heard an interview with a political figure championing renewable energy sources. It's not just talk, though, and it's not just a trend. The world’s population is enormous and so our impact on the environment is accordingly huge.
We're realizing the importance of taking care of the world we live in, and more people are starting to take the environment into consideration when it comes to their day to day routine. People are recycling, making responsible purchases at the grocery store, and saving energy at home and around the office. Many are even reexamining their morning commute.
People have started biking and taking public transportation to work. This is an awesome choice from an environmental standpoint. In 2011 it was reported that transportation made up 23% of all greenhouse-gas emissions in the world. It’s wild to think that nearly a fourth of greenhouse gas emissions are caused by the burning of diesel and petroleum in our engines. Driving less can make a difference.
However, you might not have public transportation where you live. You might have to drop off a baby at day care or haul bulky equipment. Or maybe the bike ride to work would be too dangerous or impractical to do every day. Even if your bumper sticker reads, "My other car is a bike" you may still need a car for work and recreation.
Subaru is an environmentally responsible car company. If that sounds strange, you don't know enough about Subaru. By building fuel efficient cars in low-impact factories and keeping our dealerships environmentally responsible, Subaru can help you go green even when you need to -- or want to -- drive.
Subaru introduced their first ever hybrid car last year, taking yet another step toward green driving. The XV Crosstrek was well received when it was released and has continued to grow in popularity. If you've been wanting to take the next step yourself, come to Adventure Subaru and check it out!
