This is your carbon footprint.

If everyone suddenly stopped driving we’d reduce our carbon dioxide emissions by 10% (there’s a balance that also gets shifted around but we’ll ignore that for this argument).

Consider that CO2 contribution next time you get in your car.

Huh? 10%  – How many drivers need to be converted to bicycling if we want to reduce our carbon output by just 1%?

I wonder how much it would offset (positive or negative) car manufacture & delivery or clothes and personal effects.  How about Recreation & Leisure.

Looks like bicycle advocacy needs a stronger argument than merely CO2 reduction.  As BlahBlahFreddie likes to say: “It’s about the safety stupid.”
