What’s not to love about traveling? It broadens your horizon, connects you with people from all over the world and can leave you in a state of awe. Additionally, if you travel by train you're helping to save the environment - because train travel is as green as it gets!
Environmental impact
There is a clear downside to exploring the earth’s treasures. The environmental impact of the travel industry is significant. In the US alone, an estimated 30 percent of greenhouse gas emissions are attributable to transportation.
But you have a choice...!
Sustainable travel
Aside from walking or biking, taking the train is the most environmentally friendly way of traveling. In fact, compared to cars and airplanes, trains emit between 66 and 75 percent less carbon. In terms of energy consumption, use of space and noise levels, trains are far more sustainable too.
