 | WARNING: Due to the outbreak of the infectious disease COVID-19 (see coronavirus pandemic), caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2, also known as coronavirus, there are travel restrictions worldwide. It is therefore of great importance to follow the advice of the official bodies of Belgium and Netherlands to be consulted frequently. These travel restrictions can include travel restrictions, closure of hotels and restaurants, quarantine measures, being allowed to be on the street for no reason and more, and can be implemented with immediate effect. Of course, in your own interest and that of others, you must immediately and strictly follow government instructions. |
- This article is a topic.
This topic is related to a page about the phenomenon Footprints. In other words, the impact your trip has on the environment.
To walk
Walking is healthy and runs entirely on biomass! If the Netherlands is not built completely closed, you are climate conscious with a walking holiday somewhere in the Netherlands. A walking holiday in Patagonia (South America) is not CO2 neutral - that's the same as an eko apple off New Zealand.
Bicycle
Misuse is a nice second, although most frames are forged from aluminum - that again takes a lot of energy. Bicycles can often be taken on the train, so that the net burden of a cycling holiday remains low.
Bus
| Fuel consumption per 100 km/person | |
|---|---|
| Bus | 1.0 liter |
| Train | 2.0 liters |
| Car | 6.4 litres |
| Aeroplane | 9.1 litres[1] |
Traveling by coach has the least CO2 intensive of all motorized modes of transport. The public bus (Eurolines) is a close second. A bus can also carry a lot of luggage (although a bicycle is difficult in high season). With a bus trip you are already in Croatia or somewhere up in Sweden in 24 hours. and it is relatively cheap.
Train
Stop trains and intercities also have a relatively low energy consumption, although it is disadvantageous if they run on electricity. As a result, energy turnover losses are generally incurred twice (in the power station and in the train itself).
The high-speed train still consumes less energy than the airplane, but by accelerating to 300 km per hour, quite a bit of energy is burned.
Trains are considerably more expensive than the bus, and the high-speed line is considerably more expensive than the conventional train.
Car
Of Dutch and Belgian cars it is well known what the CO2emissions. All data for the Netherlands can be found on the ANWB website [2] and there is also the government site of the New Driving with background information [3].
With the whole family for three weeks by car on holiday to France is not so bad after all. A romantic weekend in Vienna for two, 200 km per hour over the Autobahn is it.
Aeroplane
It aeroplane is for every traveler who claims to be aware of his or her CO2 emissions a no go. This makes traveling to other continents a complicated affair.
