CHALLENGE NUMBER 2

Journey 1

8 people are travelling from Kendal to Keswick.

They travel by car all the way with only two people in each car. CARBON FOOTPRINT: - 8 people : 4 cars - carbon footprint per person per Km travelles of a car : 125 g of CO2 per person per Km - journey: from Kendal to Keswick => 48 Km The carbon foot print is : 48 Km * 125 g of CO2 per person per Km * 8 person = 48'000 g per CO2 BETTER OPTION: A better option to reduce the carbon footprint for this journey, is to take a types of transport that produces 0 g of CO2. Some example of them can be the zero carbon eletric bus, an eletric POD vehicle, or a bike. They can also walk, but the distance is too long.

CHALLENGE NUMBER 2

Journey 2

Carbon footprint (CF): People in bus = 50 (this means the bus is full) Carbon footprint per person per km travelled = 20g => 13 x 20 x 50 = 13000g CO2 produced Coniston-->Ambleside(km) = 13 km

Lower alternatives: Some lower alternatives can be walking (CF = 0) but it can result tiring and not very comfortable for those who have backpacks or bags. So the best transport is going by boat (CF = 5), not only because it has a low CF but it is also better for the people that are travelling since it's faster and more pleasent if they have kids or luggage. The main con of this transport is that someone can have a seasickness and feel ill. Another option, if they just want to visit Ambleside and look around, can be cycling (CF = 0), eventhough 50 is a lot of people cycling for 13 km from one city to another.

CHALLENGE NUMBER 2

Journey 3

Options they have:

The options they have are: the car, the Electric bus, the normal diesel bus, the Electrict POD vehicle, walking and cycling. The worst alternative for getting around is certainly the car or the normal diesel bus, while the best alternatives, therefore producing less carbon footprint, are the electric bus, walking, cycling and the electric POD vehicle

What would I have chosen?

I would have chosen to use the electric bus, because it has a zero footprint and is a fast means of transport, given that I have to travel a fairly long distance. Furthermore, there is no worry about parking as it is public transport. It would have also been a good idea to travel by bike but the road ahead is too long.
