Multiple Choice

We hear talk about greenhouse gases that weakens our atmosphere's ability to let the heat from the sun escape earth. Many modern conveniences, like automobiles, emit toxic gases into the air we breath. One solution to this growing problem is to walk or ride a bike whenever possible. Walking or riding a bike reduces toxic emissions released into the air by about three pounds per mile. Additionally, bikes do not need other toxic products like brake and transmission fluids, or antifreeze; which create more pollution. Walking or riding bikes are just a few simple ways to help improve the air we breathe.
