Six ways to quickly reduce carbon emissions II.

transportation

Private transport is one of the world's largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions, and in countries such as the UK and US, the transport sector, dominated by cars, trucks, buses and motorcycles, is responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than any other. If you have a car, simply reducing how much you use it can be a great first step to reducing your emissions. In many places, most journeys by car are only relatively short distances, and walking or cycling are great alternatives that can also help you stay healthy. For longer journeys (and where available), public transport tends to be a much lower carbon option than driving. (Read more about how we can reduce the carbon footprint of our daily commute.)
