Transport

Most of us still use the car as our primary mode of transport, and one-quarter of all car journeys are less than 3km. This mode of transport has a very significant environmental cost and impacts negatively on our health and wellbeing. To ride a bike the same distance uses up less than one fiftieth of the energy required to drive.

Explore sustainable transport options.

Car Pool
If you have to use a car, those regular trips to work, the market or school can be done with others and you'll have more fun, use less petrol and spend less.

Reduce and Offset Air Travel Emissions
A return flight to Europe will travel over 25,000 km and emit over 5000 kg of greenhouse gases. So let's fly only when necessary and offset the emissions.

Reduce and Offset Car Emissions
A litre of petrol produces about 2.3kg of greenhouse gases and over half our air pollution. So let's use less and offset the emissions we can't avoid.

Ride a Bike
Stay fit, focused and firm, and help save the world. Explore bike paths, cycle groups and ride any blues away.

Use Public Transport
Buses, trains and trams all use far fewer resources than cars. Increased use will lead to better service and you can read, listen and relax as you go to and fro.
