This is a very funny topic. No matter where you go, just carry with one skateboard. It’s a special skateboard and low pollution. Everyday we are use bicycle, motorcycle or car. However, these transportation are cause air pollution and endanger our health. If people use skateboard, I believe that it can decrease some problem. In the future, hope this special tool will be promoted in the world. Let’s try to use it!
