During class Tuesday, we discussed several story ideas regarding the environment. Here are my ideas.
Proposal 1: Mopeds
My wife and I recently bought a moped, effectively reducing our fuel consumption from about five gallons per week to less than one. I have also noticed an increase in the amount of mopeds around town.
I would like to know if there is an actual increase in moped sales and why. I would want to find sales numbers to start with, then compare and contrast them with car sales numbers. I would also need to find moped owners, sales people, and any others that could provide insight as to what this means to global climate change.
Here are some similar stories recently published. Most seem to focus on the economic and financial benefits, and less so on the environmental impact.
