How to Offset Your Amtrak Carbon Emissions

#AmtrakSustains

We take our emissions seriously. Over the last decade, we’ve reduced our greenhouse gas emissions by 17% and we’ve committed another 2.6% reduction in FY20. We asked our #AmtrakTakeMeThere Social Media Residents to ride our trains across the United States, this past year. While taking Amtrak is the most energy-efficient way to travel these routes; we decided to offset their nearly 5 metric tons of CO2e travel emissions through our partnership with ClimeCo.

This is equivalent to the CO2e emissions from 539 gallons of gasoline or charging over half a million smartphones for 2hrs!
