Have you ever used the Hartline
Bus system before?
Let me inform you that this
is Public Health!
By riding the Hartline buses
you are reducing pollution in the air and decreasing respiratory diseases. The
largest source of human-created air pollution is transportation ("Health
impacts of,”).
The use of too many cars
poses a threat to our health especially our lungs.
Pollution caused by traffic
is hazardous to our health and life. Air pollution leads to pulmonary problems
such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and
other diseases.
One way to reduce air pollution in our community is
by taking advantage of The Hartline Bus system or car pooling. Car pooling is much
promoted; helps eliminate air pollution which not only affects humans but the
whole environment. Some scientists link air pollution to a major cause of
global warming. Global warming leads to other health hazards. The Hartline Bus
System offers many different routes to get you to the location that you need. Besides
getting to the location that you need, it is economical and convenient. We
chose to place the sticker at the Hartline Bus Station off of Bruce B Downs
Avenue to encourage Public Transportation to the Public. By placing the sticker
there, we hope to encourage others to partake in public transportation in hopes
of seeing one less car in the Tampa community and a more educated community.
One Less Car + More Public Transportation = Less
Pollution

Compared to larger metropolitan cities, Tampa does not have as good of public transportation however, at its base form, the purpose of public transportation is key towards reducing air pollution. Very little thing is important in reducing fossil fuel emission.
ReplyDeleteThe Hartline buses are indeed a good form of public transportation. They have various bus routes that take one to different parts of the Hillsborough county and is accessible for a good amount during the day time. I greatly agree that public transportations and carpooling reduce the air pollution if more people engage in this method of traveling. In this way, it is good for the public's health as a whole. It also saves an individual a lot of money because it is a cheaper method of transportation than driving one's own cars.
