Real-world CO2 emissions of cars are 20% higher than indicated. For plug-in hybrids they are 250% higher.

    Exactly, have a small electric car for everyday, and a few time you rent a car for the purpose. For example a pickup for carrying stuff, RV for the holiday, or something large and comfy for large distances.
    So much cheaper and you always get a brand new car.

    What can you get to within a 15-minute walk of your house?
  • @ajsadauskas
    Pretty much every place in Barcelona.
    Even most villages will fit this, with the exception of the ones that require a large population, like hospitals, sport arena, and universities.

    Right now, could you prepare a slice of toast with zero embodied carbon emissions?
  • @anne_twain
    It's complex though. Transport is usually a tiny fraction of the CO2 emissions of growing food.
    Most of the time a sustainable business further away will be better than buying local.
