travel

There are lots of ways to minimise our carbon footprint, for example using public transport or cycling to work or to meetings. Other options include:

Car Sharing

If you would like to share the travel arrangements to work you visit the Car Share website at: http://www.hepcarshare.com/Default.asp?uxi=&cr=check

Reducing Domestic Air Travel

At current levels, air travel creates at least 6% of the UK's total carbon dioxide emissions. The Department for Transport estimates that this could rise to a third of all emissions by 2050.

Trains emit significantly less carbon per person than planes. For example, the train from London to Edinburgh uses only a third of the carbon dioxide emissions from flying. So if you were planning to fly home at the end of term, consider using the train instead.
