Dec 10, 2020 · What actually happens when you walk or cycle more? Changing the way we travel can play a surprisingly big role in helping to protect the environment. So here are five ways that walking and cycling more can help save our planet.
- Cycling Reduces Carbon Footprint. Cycling saves more than 16 million tons of CO2 equivalents per year in the European Union. To put that into perspective, that’s equivalent to the total yearly CO2 emissions of a country like Croatia.
- Cycling Helps Improve Air Quality. With fewer emissions than cars, cycling contributes significantly to cleaner air. The value of reduced air pollution due to cycling is estimated at €435 million.
- Cycling Reduces Noise Pollution. Cycling also has the benefit of being quiet. This helps reduce noise pollution, which is significant considering that road traffic noise causes nearly 8,900 premature deaths and almost 800,000 additional cases of hypertension per year in Europe.
- Cycling Saves Fuel. Cycling saves more than 3 billion liters of fuel per year in the EU, which translates to nearly €4 billion in savings. This amount is comparable to the annual fuel consumption for road transport in a country like Ireland.
Feb 2, 2021 · Cycling, e-biking or walking can help tackle the climate crisis – even if you swap the car for active transport just one day a week - according to a new study led by researchers from the University of Oxford’s Transport Studies Unit.
Biking and walking, two activities we often take for granted, can have a profound impact on our environment. They’re not just forms of exercise or leisure activities. They’re also eco-friendly alternatives to gas-guzzling vehicles that contribute to air pollution and climate change.

Feb 4, 2021 · Swapping the car for walking, cycling and e-biking even just one day a week makes a significant impact on personal carbon emissions in cities. ‘Active transport’ – cycling, e-biking or walking – can help tackle the climate crisis according to a new study led by the University of Oxford’s Transport Studies Unit and including ...
