With Earth Day on the horizon (April 22), we at Railpass.com are wondering if people actually factor the environmental impact of their travels into their decision-making process when booking a trip.
We know that rail travel is, on average, between 3-10 times better on the environment than air or road travel in terms of carbon emissions. And, in a number of cases, rail is a much more affordable option than air travel.....not to mention a much less stressful way to see the world than the security-laden airport experience. Yet, here in the US, there have been a lot of nay-sayers regarding President Obama's recent pledge to invest upwards of $8 billion into improving our nation's rail infrastructure.
So, do people really care enough about the environment to make it one of the criteria for choosing a trip? Or, even if it is cheaper, greener, and more relaxed, is rail travel still at the bottom of the list for modes of transportation since it takes more time to get from point A to point B?
We want to hear what you have to say.....

ReplyDeleteHi. I agree with you. Not all people are ready to cooperate. I witnessed that a lot of times already. We had a few Earth Hours and people were not into it.

ReplyDeleteHey, it's me again. Giving a little bit of our time to help Mother nature is nothing compared to what we can do to save the earth.
it's really not easy... but we gotta save out friendly mother nature 'cause we live here. We gotta do something to improve and clean the surroundings.
