Lesson 2 - Travel Personal travel accounts for around a quarter of all the damage individuals do to the environment, including climate change effects.
Choose an efficient carIndividual car travel is responsible for the majority of climate change impacts from travel. If you’re buying a new car, look for the fuel efficiency label to choose a more efficient model. This will cut your carbon emissions and save you money on fuel and Vehicle Tax.
Try to reduce your car useReduce the number of short trips you make in the car. Walking, cycling, or taking the bus or train will help reduce local air pollution and the climate change effects of getting around.
Tackling the environmental impact of flyingConsider the need for a flight and the alternatives to taking a plane. If you do fly, you can offset your CO2. You could consider options for reducing your travel, for example taking fewer, longer breaks if possible instead of several short ones. Maybe you can find what you want closer to home, by taking a holiday in the UK or travelling to nearby countries by rail or sea.

Better stil don't buy a new car, keep your old one and save the damage done, resources used, etc. involved in making a new one.
Drive more carefuly and reduce unessesary journies.
