The right thing

We all already know we do the right thing by riding our bicycles and that we can all do a bit more with just a small tweak to our daily lives.

Here at bikespotters.com we are happy to be associated with Nigel's Eco Store where you can get lots of eco friendly stuff.





We also strongly believe the way forward is getting to grips with the possibilities of renewable energies right across the globe.

We happily invite your comments and points of views with regard to environmental issues and believe we at bikespotters.com have a role to play in being yet another platform from which to promote the harnessing of the abundant renewable energies available and to add our voice to the call to 'do the right thing'.

A few Eco facts for you .

  • Solar: In the USA enough electric power for the entire country could be generated by covering just 9% of Nevada with solar power systems. This is a plot of land roughly 92 miles by 92 miles.
  • Wind: According to the U.S.Department of Energy (DoE), the wind could provide 5,800 quads of energy each year. That's about 15 times the current global energy demand.
  • Geothermal: According to MIT, there are over 100 million quads of accessible geothermal energy worldwide.The world consumes only 400 quads.
  • Marine Energy: The Electric Power Research Institute has estimated the wave energy along the U.S. coastline at 2,100Twh per year. That's half the total U.S. consumption of electricity.
  • Biogas: The local landfill could be powering your home right now with biogas.
  • Conservation and energy efficiency: Aggressive energy conservation can save enough electricity every year to avoid building 24 new power plants.
  • Hybrids: If all cars on the road were hybrids and half were plug-in hybrids by 2025,U.S. oil imports could be reduced by about 80 percent.

As well as taking care of the planet we need to care of ourselves from time to time. Sometimes we can overdo things and when we do.....
