Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the main greenhouse gases that cause climate change. Every tonne we avoid emitting into the atmosphere helps reduce the risk of more climate change.
The amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere from your activity is called your carbon footprint.
Did you know that the average person’s carbon footprint is 4.483 tonnes of CO2 and over 40% of this comes from personal transport such as cars, motorbikes and flights?
If you can reduce your personal transport carbon footprint by just 20%, you would save 359kg of CO2 – that’s the same amount of CO2 emitted by the electricity used to power a TV for over 3 years!
So how can you reduce your carbon footprint? On a passenger kilometre basis, travelling by train is less carbon intensive than traveling by car.
