The car: the big lie
Canary In our society, we tend to idolize the car, as a social cult, linked to the speed, freedom and social status . There is a great social impact of racing, whether local or Rally World Championships Formula one, exhibitions and other public events. The car is present in our lives, in our streets, in advertising, in the talks. Own achievements are measured or neighbor by the size and power of your vehicle. Young people prefer a particular socioeconomic class, the BMW, which appear to successfully seek Mercedes and Audi, who wish to control and command a great all-rounder ... The car itself becomes a symbol rather than a means of transport, a hallmark, a mark that captures us. The publicity machine dulls us, just open any newspaper or magazine, or be for an hour watching TV, and count the number of ads. And the most interesting thing is that there are a ton of reasons for not using the car but what is necessary, or not use it to dry. These are some reasons:
a) The car is a noisy machine. This affects our nervous system and the health of all. Can we imagine how would a city without cars? Surely very quiet.
b) The car pollutes and is responsible for climate change. By now this question is about conscience and not debatable.
c) The car makes less livable cities too. Cities conceived and designed for cars to the public, where We stuck to pedestrians on sidewalks narrow houses while the motor vehicle has much more space.
d) The urban car is slow. Stuck, stuck and not very versatile compared to other modes of transport such as tram or bike, urban distances is not efficient.
e) The car occupies public space. space all on the street, into traffic and is stationed. In fact a car has more room when parked that the average employee in his job, that is, we are limited in our table or desk 8 hours a day as our car has more than 8 square meters of public space .
f) The car needs expensive and devastating infrastructure. Roads, tunnels, motorways. Energy consumption for building infrastructure and the destruction of the territory are unjustifiable and difficult to recover.
g) The car generates solid waste difficult to recycle. Production also generates unjustifiable waste and energy consumption from the environmental point of view.
h) The life of a car is becoming smaller. Between 5 and 10 years according to the latest trends. No more than a bicycle. The car is becoming an article ephemeral.
i) The cars are expensive. Beloved. The car is in my garage cost EUR 21000, 80 times more than the bike with which I work every day, or whatever it is, could have bought 80 bicycles for the whole neighborhood.
j) Cars kill. deaths traffic accidents are the leading cause of death among youth in Spain. Cars kill more than AIDS, Terrorism, and many diseases in our country. Medical expenses arising from the use of the car are a chunk of our Social Security in respiratory diseases and injuries.
k) cars break down frequently and require expensive maintenance. The mechanism is complex and involves further expenditure of resources, hours of workshop and spare parts.
l) The cars are underused. Five or seven seats for a single person, that is the image of each morning on the freeway. Cars occupying almost empty road.
m) The car belongs to a third-metal. is a symbol of development. In most advanced countries have sought alternatives, and public transport and cycling have taken their place in the cities. Drive to an individual's own twentieth century, the city recover from the citizens of the twenty-first century.
n) The car stressed. Driving causes stress, suffering the queues, concerns about the condition of the car, the burden not arrive on time, the anxiety of not finding parking, etc. Crispa us and we become little kind and polite.
How much is really a car? anyone know. If I made an estimate of what it paid to buy the mine, and I will add the cost of waste generated by manufacturing, gasoline spending in pollution for the environment, insurance, the cost of infrastructure ..., the figure would be absurdly irrational and astronomy, and everything to do the 6 miles home from work and from work to home. The cost, not only in money but in our world impact of the bike is ridiculous to her, and the utility is the same.
The car is a lie. You driving or riding. Only up to you. But every decision change the world.
