and for those who are really concerned about the environment... GO VEGAN!

it's easy to forget that animal agriculture causes MORE environmental harm than all the world's transportation combined! from Livestock's Long Shadow...
https://www.foodnavigator-usa.com/Sci...meat-and-dairy
“Vegans’ GHG emissions were 41.7% lower than the non-vegetarians, lacto-ovo vegetarians’ emissions were 27.8% lower, pesco-vegetarians’ were 23.8% lower and semi-vegetarians were just under 20% lower.”
Combined, the vegans and vegetarians generated 30% fewer GHG emissions than meat eaters, he told FoodNavigator-USA:
"The differences we have estimated are based on the AHS-2 non-vegetarian population as the reference or benchmark group. The consumption of animal products by this non-vegetarian population is less than that of the general population. This means that if we compared our vegetarian population against the average American diet, the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions would be even more dramatic."

The livestock sector is a major player [in climate change], responsible for 18% of greenhouse gas emissions measured in CO2 equivalent. This is a higher share than transport.

It's also never talked about how bad pets are for the environment. Not just in ecological footprint,but also in the number of wild animals killed by pets every year.

Now I want a Lamborgini Murcielago!
The NASA Crawler statistics are somewhat misleading, since they forget to mention the amount of freight it transports, which must be included in the calculation, as mpgpt -- Miles Per Gallon Per Ton.
I just tried to appear smart. Someone is going to give me a huge wallop with actual facts, and I'll end up feeling like the total idiot I am!

for better or worse, that guy is branded as a loon. logically, what he's actually proposing makes sense, but it's fiercely opposed, even by most environmental/conservation groups.

of course there's a little bit of self-congratulatory spin and green-washing in CSX's conclusions, but it's not entirely wrong.
the other thing to bear in mind with the NASA crawler is that almost half of the distance it covers, it's empty. it rarely does a round-trip with a full load.
there's also "passenger miles per gallon" which is a real metric - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passenger_miles_per_gallon
in simple terms, using round numbers, one person on a motorcycle is more fuel efficient than one person in a small SUV... but 2-3 people in a small SUV is more fuel efficient than 2-3 people on 2-3 motorcycles.
