How do we figure out our best actions…….. Transition Streets 5.1.1

Working out your transport footprint is complex.

There is data on modes of transport defined in green house gas emissions, general pollution, and other health impacts. But we also need to consider the changes in these results when the number of passengers ( or the amount of freight ) is taken into account.

   

Starting with your own car use – the Australian Government Green Vehicle Guide – gives official testing data on cars registered in Australia. You can look up data by month and year, search for older cars, and put in your own data to calculate your CO2 footprint.
