Why your longboard is eco-friendly
Sector 9 PDP City Crusher Longboard PDP- Push Don’t Pollute
Here are just a few reasons why we should cruise our sector 9 longboards to work/school/everywhere.
1.) When gas burns, it turns into lots of carbon dioxide gas. Gasoline is mostly carbon by weight, so a gallon of gas might release 5 to 6 pounds of carbon into the atmosphere.
2.) The United States is releasing roughly 2 billion pounds of carbon into the atmosphere each day which is a main reason global warming has come into affect.
3.) The USA consumes about 9 million barrels of gasoline each day. The is nearly half of the total global consumption.
4.) The United States also consumes around 20 million barrels of oil in a day. A barrel contains 42 gallons and yields 20 gallons of gasoline after being refined. This equals around 400 million gallons of gasoline being consumed every day.
So remember to Push Don’t Pollute your way to work!
