How would it be if we stopped the climate changes? |

How to travel in an environment friendly way. There are many ways to travel nowadays, but how does this affect
our environment? The easiest way to help the climate would definitively
be if we all would just stop travelling, but as we all know that's
impossible by the way our society is built up. The Earth is surrounded by many kinds of gases. One of those gases
is ozone, which creates a layer around the earth with the function
to protect us from ultraviolet radiation which can cause diseases
like skin cancer.
Travel by train has proved to be 66 times better than to travel by flight. In an article from the Swedish newspaper DN there was a research
about which way was the best way of travelling (for more information
you can always take a look at their website). They claimed that if
you go by train from the Swedish capital city Stockholm to Malmö
you will only cause 2 kilograms of carbon per person into the environment.
If you compare these numbers to the bus, the car and the flight you
can see that a bus causes 18 kilograms, a car 96 kilograms and the
flight causes 132 kilograms climate-changing gases on that distance.
That means that travelling by train is 66 times better than travelling
by flight. |
