Cheaper By Plane - Article

Cheaper By Plane!

After several hours of research, I just booked a weekend break to Paris. Ideally I wanted to go with the Euro Star, I’d never been through the tunnel before and of course the ecological damage is relatively small in comparison to a Boeing. Beleive it or not, it was around £40 more expensive on average to travel on the train rather than a plane!

techrrd quotes:

“…jet aircraft contribute 1% of total greenhouse effects…”

This may not sound very much, but if you compare this to all of the earths industry and the other contributers, it’s one of the greatest contributers. On top of this, jet aircraft contribute towards global dimming which emacipates the issues further.

It’s yet another example where the transport solution with the least ecological damage is by far the most expensive. It’s cheaper to drive or fly to Paris than it is to get the Public Transport solution, the train.
