It takes only a minute and the social media links are on the e-zoomed home page!

It been 7 weeks since we went into lockdown, and as we approach mid-May there is a glimmer of hope, in that, we may start to return to work. Though the government remains keen to get the economy going, it is also aware of the risks of further contagion, in particular, as a result of the use of public transportation.

Mobility, in particular, urban mobility has come to the forefront of the government narrative, as it assess the best transportation framework that reduces any further risk of the virus spreading. Walking, cycling, electric bikes, electric scooters and electric kick scooters are being assessed as the best alternatives for commuting for work. The government has also announced its intention to fast track the consultation on electric kick scooters, to further add these environmentally friendly vehicles to the mobility mix.

Though the governments primary objective is to maintain social distancing, it also remains keen to continue its work in reducing air pollution in our major centres in the UK.

We at e-zoomed have been very vocal in encouraging households and families to challenge and reflect on their relationship with mobility, and where possible, to downsize to smaller cars (zero-emission battery-electric vehicles) or even better, to e-bikes and electric scooters.

We continue to push on the broader themes related to the environment. It is imperative that we as individuals accept a greater responsibility of our relationship with our environment i.e. every individuals actions has an impact on the environment. Our choice of energy, dirty or clean, our choice of transportation, dirty or clean, all have an impact on our environment and eventually on our health. We can no longer continue with the way we lived before the commencement of Covid-19. We need to change and fast!
