Eurostar is the Future of Green Transportation

Eurostar

With all these issues regarding greenhouse gases continuously piling up, alternative means of being able to assist people with regards to transportation and getting to the places they want, Eurostar has been given the task of making an environmental stand as the new eco-express for people today.

With its battle-cry of being carbon neutral and footprint free method of transport, Eurostar is expected to become a benchmark as far as finding alternative ways of transport today.

The impact of rail travel between London and Paris or Brussels had always been at least 10 times lighter than the equivalent journey by plane, a traveller generating 11 kilograms of carbon dioxide compared with 122 by his or her counterpart on the plane. It is, the company says, the difference between enough CO2 to fill a Mini and the amount needed to fill a double-decker bus.

But by making a raft of new changes across the business – from installing energy meters on all trains to tightening up on recycling and making “train capacity efficiencies” (filling every seat, in other words) – the operator is lightening its environmental load.
