The Most Detailed Map of Auto Emissions in America
- mikestew 7y agoSeattle's emissions per person are up?! C'mon, Seattle. I'm just guessing, but maybe all the bike nuts that are going to ride to work already moved here, and the n00bs drive. Or here's a better one: outrageous house prices mean people are moving further out and driving more, let alone being close enough to bike/walk to work. I'm only surprised because, personally, we had a less-than-average footprint to begin with, and have been whittling at it since. I only drove the electric car this morning because at 32F/0C I don't want to dump a single track vehicle (bicycle/electric scooter/motorcycle) on black ice like I did last year. We're replacing the 30 year old furnace with a heat pump next week (most efficient I could buy). We insulated the attic this summer. We rarely fly anymore. Don't tell me personal emissions are up, we're running out of ideas. :-)
