This is the biggest single contribution to carbon emissions for most households at 34%. We like flying overseas for holidays and the convenience of taking the car but if we can reduce our use of private, fossil-fuel driven vehicles and choose public transport (eg buses, trains, ferries) or even better walk or cycle, we can quickly reduce our emissions footprint.

Transport Checklist
Limit car use as much as you can. Walk, cycle or use public transport instead
If you can only reach your place of work by car, consider setting up a carpool
Purchase carbon credits to offset your car’s emissions
Replace a face to face meeting with a virtual meeting online
Limit your flights. Holiday locally and buy carbon offsets if you must fly
Pack as light as possible when you travel. (More weight = more energy/emissions.)
Next time you purchase a car, invest in a hybrid or electric vehicle.
