Natural Heritage

Natural Heritage
Preserving the natural patrimony is the most inexpensive and efficient environmental economics. The term natural heritage derives from the French "patrimoine naturel", the totality of natural assets, including those of historical, cultural or scenic beauty. It give us understanding the importance of natural environment: where we came from, what we do and how we will be. Our lives are connected to the landscapes of our daily lives, as well as we keep the memories of places we went. The destruction of these landscapes cause irreversible environmental damage, and are an insult to our memory, causing loss of quality of life.

GM EN-V Jiao(Pride)
Urbanization Facts
There will be more than 1.2 billion cars on the earth in 30 years.
By 2030, 60% of the world’s population will live in urban areas.
China’s estimated urban population will reach 1 billion by 2030.
In megacities, 30% of fuel is wasted while drivers look for a parking spot (costing the average commuter an extra RMB 336 per month) and 70% of vehicle owners have trouble finding parking at least once per day.
Today’s cars require more than 10 square meters of parking space and are parked more than 90% of the time. 
Half of all trips in metropolitan areas are 5 kilometers or less and 28% are 1.6 kilometers or less.
In cities, more than 85% of vehicles have one occupant.
Operating Cost
One-fifth to one-sixth the price of a conventional motor vehicle. One-third to one-fourth the operating cost of a passenger car. Can be driven 24,000 kilometers for RMB 840 (based on current electricity rates in China).
