Getting from A to B with fewer emissions

By Ross Henderson (Motorcycle Instructor - EliteMCT, WA)

Motorcycle transport is a largely ignored solution to green transport. Not only do motorcycles consume far less fossil fuels to run than other vehicles, they use as little as 1/10th the carbon footprint to manufacture than even the smallest cars.

The majority of modern cars produce 75% of their total CO2 emmissions in the manufacturing stage.
A small increase in motorcycle use as apposed to car use would present a significant change to CO2 emmissions.

  1. Thanks for the tip Ross! I admit it hadn't occurred to me that motorcycle use is an effective way of reducing emissions.

    If anyone else has tips, please email them to me for inclusion in this blog!
