Swapping the car for walking, cycling and e-biking even just one day a week makes a significant impact on personal carbon emissions in cities. Active transport - cycling, e-biking or walking - can help tackle the climate crisis according to a new study led by the University of Oxford s Transport Studies Unit and including researchers from Imperial s Centre for Environmental Policy as part of the EU-funded project PASTA: Physical Activity Through Sustainable Transport Approaches.
Meeting greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets requires a significant move away from motorised transport. The team found that shifting to active transport could save as much as a quarter of personal carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from transport.

McDonald’s is a latecomer to the plant-based fast-food game: White Castle debuted the Impossible Slider in April 2018. Shortly after, Del Taco and Burger King added Beyond and Impossible products to their menus, respectively. Then
