It seems the man-pulled rickshaw or the pedal-powered "pedicabs"

are a smarter choice even for rich countries

now that global warming is worsening....

What do you think? any ideas ?

hi ruperto

I would love to see the return of something like this! thumbup
Not only would they be greener, they would give somebody a job and exercise!
I live in Edinburgh, Scotland where they are currently bringing back the tram! It was a novel idea, but has now turned into a nightmare, not because of the human bones that were unearthed there, but because of the spiralling costs and delays.
Contractors have failed to meet deadlines and businesses have suffered due to roadblocks with disruption to buses and other traffic.
Yes!... bring back pedicabs lol. thumbup

Alice happy

thanks for the nice comment.

I agree, the added employment and personal health would provide new benefits.

best wishes also to the tram project :)

well some thing like that would prove to have many benefits such as health for the person providing the service and it would be good for the environment too. But I also think we need to go with alternative energy solutions like vegetable based oil fuel for our cars, geothermal, wind, and solar for our homes etc. We need to look at replenish-able natural resources. I think governments should give tax credits to those of us who are going in that direction. If you ride a bike to work, if that is an option, well you are helping to do your part for yourself and your planet, because you live here too. Every one needs to take responsibility.
