Walk, bike or take public transportation to work if you can
Impact data
Transport is already the largest source of CO₂ emissions in Spain, far ahead of industry and electricity. Swapping the car for active alternatives makes an enormous difference: people who cycle daily generate carbon footprints 84% lower than those who don’t, and replacing car trips with public transport can cut annual CO₂ emissions by up to 2.2 tonnes per person.
How to overcome the challenge
Plan — Calculate the distance to work and choose the most practical option: walking, cycling, or public transport.
Start small — Begin with one day a week and gradually increase the frequency.
Make it a habit — Prepare your route, bike, or travel pass in advance so it feels just as easy as taking the car.
