I'm all for doing what's right for the environment, but I can't stand tricky uses of statistics.
That statistic has almost nothing to do with the proceeding statement.
This is also a great of example of trying to blame environmental issues on individuals (see: recycling).
- boxfire 7y agoYeah what percent of that 24 percent is actually commuters? I have no idea but I'd wager single digits. I honestly stopped right at the start of the article because reading this told me this was an agenda piece likely the outcome of a risk management firm's press stash.
