CO2 saved by joining a car club
In the UK, the average car owner drives 13,438 km per year, emitting 2.246 tonnes of carbon dioxide. After joining a car club, reducing mileage by 50% and using a newer, more efficient car, this figure would be reduced to 0.87 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year. 2.246 - 0.87 = 1.376 tonnes = 1376kg OF CO2 SAVED
