Women generate lower travel-related greenhouse gas emissions, study finds - PHYS
Women use more diverse modes of travel and generate lower greenhouse gas emissions than men, despite men being more than twice as likely to travel by bike, a New Zealand study has found.
The researchers studied the transport patterns of almost 50,000 Kiwis between 2002 and 2014 based on data from the New Zealand Household Travel Survey.
Lead researcher Dr. Caroline Shaw from the University of Otago, Wellington says that while both men and women mostly traveled by car, there were distinct patterns of travel linked to gender.
