Transport<\/a><\/strong> is the hardest sector to decarbonize because of the heavy use of fossil fuels<\/strong>. Globally, only one in 50 new cars was fully electric in 2020. But even if all the new cars were electric, it would still take 15-20 years<\/strong> to replace all the fossil fuel cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, saving harmful emissions would not be fast enough to make the necessary difference. One of the ways to quickly reduce transport emissions is to opt for cycling<\/strong> and walking<\/strong>, or the so-called active travel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Active Travel’ means moving from A to B in ways that do not employ fossil fuels. Active travel not only improves health and well-being<\/a><\/strong> but helps reduce the carbon footprint<\/strong> and save money<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most sustainable option is walking<\/strong> where the only resource required is you, followed by cycling<\/a><\/strong> which requires some equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
