Answer 1

Answer:

ITDP’s conclusion, in short: Bicycling could help cut carbon emissions from urban transportation 11 percent.

The authors calculated the carbon emissions reduction that could result if cities around the world make a strong, sustained commitment to promoting bicycle travel.

In a scenario where 14 percent of travel in the world’s cities is by bike or e-bike in 2050, carbon emissions from urban transportation would be 11 percent lower than a scenario where efforts to promote sustainable transportation sidestep bicycling.

The ITDP scenario calls for 11 percent of urban mileage by bike by 2030 before hitting 14 percent in 2050. For many big American cities where bicycling accounts for a small share of total travel, that may sound like a high bar — and that was part of the point. The ITDP targets will require a significant public policy commitment. But the goals are achievable and aren’t as daunting as they might seem, the authors say.

Already, ITDP estimates about 6 percent of miles traveled in world cities are by bike or e-bike. More than half of those bicycling miles, however, come from just a few countries, including Japan, China, the Netherlands, and Denmark.

In general, bicycling’s share of travel is flat or falling in developing countries. And in the U.S. and Canada, bicycling only accounts for about 1 percent of non-recreational trips.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Conservation effort with resource is matched below-

1 saving forests -- Use computers for communication and taking notes.

Papers are made from woods obtained from cutting trees of forests.

Using digital media which is paper less, helps conserve the forests.

2 conserving freshwater aquifers

-- Treat sewage water and use it in factories.

Aquifer refers to rocks present under the ground, which hold water. This water is referred to as groundwater.

Using sewage treated water can decrease the water load on environment, thus making its sustainable use.

3 reducing CO2 emissions that contribute to climate change -- Walk or use a bicycle for short-distance travel.

Carbon dioxide is a product of combustion of fuel. Increase in the amount of this gas results in global warming.

Using non fuel vehicle like bicycle and walking on foot will help save the environment from this gas.
