Energy efficiency

Learning objectives

  • To reflect on energy efficiency and ecomobility.
  • To distinguish between individual transportation and public transportation.
  • To investigate the links between transportation, health and global warming.

Increase in population and increasing urbanization have led to an explosion in traveling. The environmental impact of transportion is a concern.

All transportation emits, among others, carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. A conveyance is more or less effective depending on distance traveled and number of passengers. All are good at getting us around.

Note: The amount of CO₂ released by a cyclist is so small that it was neglected for this simulation.
