We all want to contribute to a better world and that is why it is a good idea to see what in your life you can make more sustainable. In addition to eating and purchasing more sustainably, you can also opt for more sustainable transport. For example, many people choose to fly less, but you can also choose a more sustainable way to get from A to B within your own immediate environment. In this article we tell you all about sustainable ways to get around.
Stay active
First of all, it is extremely important to stay active and where possible, take the bike or go for a walk. For example, choose a handy cargo bike, so that you can easily take enough things with you. Not only do you help the earth a little, but you also ensure that you get enough exercise on a daily basis.
Carpooling
Carpooling has been a popular way to get to work cheaply and sustainably for years, for example. Do you have several colleagues in the area who all have to go in the same direction and all want to return home around the same time? In that case, ride together. Pick people up at a convenient point. If you live really close to each other, someone can simply drive past the houses by car, but throughout our country you will also find various carpool points, where you can leave your car and continue driving together.
Electrical alternatives
You will find more and more electric alternatives to popular means of transport. Consider, for example, the electric bicycle, the electric fat bike and the electric scooter. These things move nice and fast and it doesn’t take too much effort to propel yourself along. Moreover, they are a lot more sustainable than a petrol car and you can get around the city center a lot faster than a car, because you can simply drive on the cycle paths and maneuver between the cars. The electric scooter can also be easily folded, making it easy to take with you on the train, for example.
public transport
Finally, public transport is an extremely sustainable choice. For this reason, many people choose to go on holiday by train instead of by plane or car. Public transport is also well organized in our country, making it easy to get anywhere. We admit that public transport is expensive, but a car is more expensive and you can also take out various interesting subscriptions in the Netherlands, which means that your travel behavior can ultimately be quite economical. A good one to research that carefully!
