Carbon reduction at Manchester Airport
Apparently a carbon audit for Manchester Airport showed that 60% of carbon emissions came from cars and coaches, 20% from planes and 20% from buildings.
Currently 8% of passengers access Manchester Airport by rail (and, it is thought, longer-distance journeys predominate). If this percentage doubled by attracting more passengers from the private car, that would reduce carbon emissions by nearly 5% (8% of 60%).
What's that reduction worth - to the environment, to the neighbours?
And how could it be achieved? The train service is already pretty good - what more is needed? Ideas, please!
