Detailed explanation-1: -Carbon dioxide emissions per passenger-mile from travel by personal vehicles are higher on a per-mile basis than emissions from other forms of passenger travel. Heavy-and light-rail transit produce relatively few emissions per passenger-mile.
Detailed explanation-2: -America’s trucks travel a total of 93, 512, 000, 000 miles per year-that’s over a thousand times the distance from the earth to the sun. Most trucks get about eight miles per gallon, so that works out to almost 6 million tons of carbon dioxide per year.
Detailed explanation-3: -The carbon footprint of transportation is measured in grams of carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalents emitted per person to travel one kilometer. This includes both carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Flying on a short flight or driving alone are the most carbon-intensive travel methods.
