Steemit Engagement Challenge / S16/W6 - "What happens if motor vehicles are banned around the world?
The world has evolved a great deal when it comes to transportation. There are various means of transportation today.
We have transport by sea which we use the ship, boats and other means of sea transport, land transport which involves the used of cars, trucks, buses; air transport which makes use of airplanes, cargo jets, and by rail which makes use of train. The truth is that, transportation has come to ease lives. The advent of motor vehicles brought about most civilisation in form of good roads. Without it, our roads would have been dusty and we would have been trekking like the people of old and on dusty roads.

What happens if motor vehicles are banned around the world?
When I saw this question it made me laugh. How will it look like? It is really going to be funny. Before the advent of cars and vehicles, our great grandfathers made use of other means of transport. And they were used to it because there had not been anything like vehicle before.
The world is really going to be in chaos if that happens. It will be very difficult to adapt seeing that we are already used to motor vehicles. People will start massive trekking once more.
However, I think it will lead to more people engaging in physical exercise the more which will lead to a better health and long life. People will definitely adjust to the current life situation because that is how man is made - to adapt to changes. Just recently in my country, the pump price of fuel skyrocketed to 300%. Many who even had vehicles packed and started trekking most of the way, especially if it is a short distance.
So nothing much would happen, people will just adjust their lives to the current development.
Will humans again seek the help of animals for transport?
Well before now, humans still living the nomadic form of life used animals of burden as means of transportation. Animals like horse, Oxes, Camels, etc were used to carry loads and transport people from one place to another.
So it is very possible that humans can enlist the use of these animals once more as a means of transportation. After all, we always revert to old ways of life if the new one fails us.
They will also resort to other means like walking, biking, etc

And they will use slogans like
It is not far, I will soon reach (a word that encourages one while trekking, meaning that where one is going is not far, soon, he or she will get there)
My legedis bens (the leg being referred to as a vehicle)
Hit the ground running (keep going)
And so on. These slogans are meant to help.ome cope.
How would our environment be without motor vehicles?
Presently, the world currently is facing environmental pollution caused by emission of Carbon Monoxide from vehicles' fuel combustion. This is dangerous to ozone layer and human health.
But with the removal of vehicles, the environment will gradually return to its natural state. The air will be cleaner, the environment will replace other natural organisms that lead to a greener earth.
There would be less pollution on the environment , increased physical activity, reduced mortality rate due to car accidents, less continuation of diseases, reduced destruction of greenhouse gases, due to less emissions of CO gas.
What will it be if humans invent any form of transportation other than the motor in the future?
I would not be sure about what it may be. However, watching some sci-fi films can give an insight though it may not be real. Most of the sci-fi films feature a situation where vehicles will fly in the air just beneath the clouds.
We also have cases of teleportation where person enters a machine and is teleported to another location within few minutes.
All these are human imagination, so I don't know what it is going to be. But One thing that is sure is that in the future, other means of transport will definitely come into play.
Conclusion
It would be nice to have a feel of a world without vehicles. But many would not like it since they are used to it. However, it will definitely lead to a more cleaner and gas free environment.

Hi friend
Since motors was invented, our means of transportation was made easy and faster. Waking up to another reality where motor vehicles are banned around the world will really take time for humans to adjust to the new change. Looking into this, it will place us to dwell on both the advantages and disadvantages either to; have an healthy environment without vehicles or slow down our movement with animals or non-technological means of transportation like bicycle.
The world has become heavily dependent on motor vehicles for transportation, leading to environmental pollution and health risks. I think if motor vehicles were banned worldwide, there will be chaos as people will adjust to a new way of life. This could lead to increased in physical activity, cleaner air, and a greener environment. Your own form of invention is a flying vehicles or teleportation, in the future. I see with you that this change will benefit the planet and human health.
Haha, I totally get what you mean. It would be pretty funny to imagine a world without motor vehicles. Our great grandfathers managed just fine without cars because they had other ways to get around. But nowadays, we're so used to vehicles that it would be chaotic if they were suddenly gone. People would have to start trekking long distances like they used to.
But you know what? I think it could actually be a good thing for our health. Without cars, more people would have to engage in physical exercise, which could lead to better health and longer lives. Humans are pretty good at adapting to changes, so I'm sure we'd adjust to the new situation. In fact, in my country, when the fuel prices went up like crazy, many people started trekking short distances instead of driving.
And you're right, we could always go back to using animals like horses, oxen, or camels for transportation. In the past, nomadic people relied on these animals to carry loads and transport them from place to place. So if we needed to, we could definitely enlist their help again. After all, humans have a way of reverting to old ways of life when the new ones don't work out.
So yeah, if motor vehicles were banned, people would just adjust their lives to the new situation.
