I am entering my seventh-month of cycling to work (on a regular basis). Most weeks since I started this activity, I ride my bike to and from the office at least three times in a five-day work week.
In exchange for the sweat, I get to save on money that I would have otherwise used to pay for petrol and parking, save on time that I would have used to go the Fort and jog for at least 30 minutes, and more importantly, conserve on resources and lower my carbon footprint.
The concern here is lessening your impact on the environment and the way to address this is by incorporating environmentally-conscious activities as alternative.
Going green is not just a fad. It’s a necessity that all of us, individuals and corporations, need to partake in. Take a look at Boysen Paints below as an example.

Photo from Walyou.comNew developments in nanotechnology have produced the most unlikely weapon to reduce NOx and air pollutant levels – paint. Working with Cristal Global, the world’s leading ultrafine titanium dioxide (TiO2) producer, Boysen has developed KNOxOUT. A revolutionary paint that converts noxious air pollutants into harmless substances in an environmentally safe process called photocatalysis…
…Boysen Paints is currently conducting the world’s largest depolluting paint trial at an urban rail transit station along the busiest avenue in the Manila Metropolitan Area . The trial involves painting over 5,200 sq. meters with close to 1,000 liters of KNOxOUT. This trial will further confirm the depolluting results of the European trials. Given the high amount of sunlight, humidity and air pollution in the vicinity of the trial, this area is ideal for photocatalysis…

Much larger studies have implicated air pollution in cardiovascular disease and respiratory illnesses, such as asthma. People with migraines — about 18 percent of women and about 6 percent of men — have an elevated risk of stroke. In the Beth Israel Deaconess study, about half the people who came to the emergency department for help with their headaches left with a diagnosis of migraine.
