Nowadays, the situation is quite different. People all over the world are worried about things that are happening to the environment. Actually it is man that is destroying the surroundings with many kinds of wastes. Everybody knows that motorbikes and cars give out dangerous gases that cause poisonous air and cancer, but no one wants to travel on foot or by bicycle.
