Zork Green Tip 28 - Skate to Save the Planet

After being stranded on your beautiful planet for over six months, we discovered an exciting human-made technology of intergalactic significance that reduces energy consumption while traveling. This transportation technology saves a substantial amount of gasoline while providing Earthlings with a platform to have fun and be green like us.

1000 MPG. According to our nano-computer calculations and rigorous technical and mathematical analysis, this transportation device generates at least 1000 MPG before it needs to be refueled.

This green technology is the skateboard. Earthlings, what a fun way to get around.

Don’t be a Didiot. Please do not attempt to ride your skateboard on your highways crowded with metal transportation devices expelling large amounts of carbon dioxide into your atmosphere. Skateboarding is one of the greenest ways to get around your neighborhood.

Dude! We heard skateboarding used to be only for “dudes’. We do not understand the term ‘dude’ but we assume it is a person who likes having fun in life.

One of the biggest legends in skateboarding is Tony Hawk. Earthling Tony, whether he realizes it or not, has been at the forefront of the green movement by helping to make skateboarding a beautiful sport. We watched the X-Games and were amazed at the incredible tricks being done on half pipes.

Daily fun. Skateboarding has become mainstream and a big sport. Your skateboard might be your ideal form of daily transportation.

The cool factor. We saw your Segway transportation device and, although we are aliens, we think it is a weird, alien-like way to transport your human vessel. Why look like a dork when you can look cool riding a skateboard?

Even an Earthling dog can skateboard.

Skate to work. We see young humans skateboarding to school. Humans can also skate to work. The entire family can learn skateboarding.

Save money. Skateboarding is significantly cheaper than driving a Hummer or some Bubba truck. With gas hovering near $4 per gallon, propelling yourself on a cool, fun skateboard will save many green dollars. You will keep your human body in shape. And you will be green like us.
