This is part of a class project, and our grade ONLY depends on how many hits we get, so please take a look.

Thousands of people go to the gym everyday and use machines that waste energy and eat more after. Using pedal powered bikes or biking for transportation allows someone to exercise and generate energy at the same time. I exercise regularly and do not increase my food consumption significantly.

There are these things, called “gardens”…from which food is grown and eaten fresh, rather than using energy to over-process nutrients from the food and allowing it to sit in a big box store until someone decides to buy it.

And while the average small family garden may not “save the planet”, it sure does go a long way in helping keep our Earth green…especially when we use other ‘green’ methods to save energy and use less resources.

While it is a cool toy and might be nice for those that are in a very remote area this does not “save” any energy.

Since a person has to eat to keep the body system up the more you use it the more food you have to eat. Food has to be grown, processed, transported to a wholesaler, transported to a retailer, kept in controlled climate environments if it is perishable, and then picked up by the consumer. The more we eat the more that goes into production.

I ride my bicycle all over. I don’t save any money as I eat about twice what I did when I didn’t ride my bike.

The advantages for me are less traffic headaches and no fees for going to the gym after work since I am in great shape.

I am not under any illusions that I am “saving the planet” by riding my bike.
