Move 4: How Did I Contribute to GHG Emissions This Month?

Data from my Capstone:

One weekend in Chicago, IL and another in Steamboat, CO

 

Plane 5.5 hours: 260 kg of CO2 emissions

Car 30 miles: 10 kg of CO2 emissions

Train 4 hours: 24 kg of CO2 emissions

Bus 6 hours (310 miles): 60 kg of CO2 emissions

 

This data is purely estimated on resources that I had found on various websites. Although this might not be perfect, I think it paints a good picture of what travel can put into out aatmosphere. I found that while it might not be the most efficient form of travel, train is the least destructive form of long-distance travel.
