Car, Bus, Train or Plane?

Recently I had to decide whether or not to fly, take the train or even the bus. I asked myself, “Which transportation option uses the least energy?”

There is a site that calculates train vs. plane emmissions per passenger (train is 73-91% LESS than plane travel in Europe – likely similar in the U.S. too). So safe to say, I should have taken the train! I will choose to take the train on my next trip.

What about you? Would you consider leaving your car at home and taking a bus or the train? Are those options even available to you?

Also, think about green options when choosing a hotel. Here’s the link to the post “Dallas Snow-Over” showing the green Element Hotel chain with a picture of a room like the one we stayed in.
