What are travel emissions doing to our environment?
Did you know that the use of petrol and diesel road vehicles were the main source of the 27% of emissions in the UK’s transport sector in 2019? Unfortunately, many of us rely on these types of vehicles and are likely to for at least the next 5 to 10 years. In the meantime, rethinking how we travel is the next best step we can take to reduce our carbon footprint.
Action you can take:
-
Review your journey – is it necessary?
-
Use a different way travel such as car sharing, using public transport, walking, or cycling.
-
If you need to use your car, learn to drive more efficiently
-
Use video calls to catch up with friends, family and work colleagues.
-
Enjoy the beautiful British landscape for a staycation instead of flying abroad.
