Green Transport Directory
Trips of less than 10 miles account for 40% of the United Kingdom’s domestic transport Carbon emissions, with trips in the 2 to 5 mile category contributing 40% of these emissions and the private car remains the mode of choice. This means that a huge amount of CO2 emissions can be saved if we find better ways to travel the short distances. Europe is filled with E-bikes and E-scooters, they are already filling the gap of the short distance transport problem. This is killing two pasties with one bite, get fit and reduce emissions. Walk to the shop, ride a bike to work, scooter to school, take the bus, share your car.
