Centre for Alternative Technology - Transport & Travel Info Sheets

The way we get around can make up a bigger chunk of our personal carbon emissions than energy use in the home - especially if we take a few air flights. See this section for advice on greener car use, public transport, and low-impact holidays, and alternative fuels (such as those made from plants or from renewable sources).
