Means of transportation (Car or bicycle/walk)
Comparison/ Contrast Post

It is often reported about gasoline price in the news these days, because gasoline price has been increasing. In addition, environmental problems become a big issue around the world. These topics are familiar in our life. As a one of the easy ways to get rid of these problems, riding a bicycle or walking to move instead of using a car is good idea. Riding a car and riding a bicycle or walking has advantages and disadvantages, so I will compare them to see which is the better way from 3 points - price, convenience and eco-friendliness.

Topic about money is one of the big issues, so first of all I would like to compare about price. If you always use a car to move, increasing gasoline price is very serious problem. If you ride a bicycle or walk instead of riding a car, you can reduce the amount of money that need for filling the gasoline tank of your car. It is no need to use gasoline, so it is very economical way.

Ways of riding a bicycle or walk are cheap, but it has not only good points when we think about convenience. If it is rain or too hot or too cold, it is not good condition to walk or ride a bicycle. Besides, it is difficult to go to far places where you want to visit by foot or bicycle. That’s why car is convenient.

At the end, we will think about environmental aspect. Environmental problem is very important issue around the world, and the issue was talked at the Summit conference of Hokkaido. We have to think about global warming seriously from right now. Car exhaust is one of the big aspects to damage the environment. The more a number of cars increase, the more car exhaust also increases. Now, a various kind of cars such as electric car or so on are invented, but using a bicycle or walk is more eco-friendly way.

Car is very useful, in the other hand riding a bicycle or walk is eco-friendly and cheap way. Both ways has good points and bad points. If you depend on car in your life, it may be difficult not using a car. However, not riding a car is one of the choices that you can do for money and environment.
