Green transportation Ideas, challenges and Solutions

Hi, my name is Riley, and after spending time in some small towns where there were no public transportation options, I made a few realisations about the necessity of transport. I also learned how to navigate transportation through alternative sources. As an environmentalist, being green is always one of my top priorities, and because of that, I also tried to use the greenest transportation mode possible.
