Sustainable Mobility – Eco-Friendly Ways to Get Around

Transportation is responsible for a significant share of global CO₂ emissions — but there are better alternatives. With sustainable mobility options, you can significantly reduce your everyday carbon footprint. At the same time, you save money, improve your health, and rediscover your surroundings. Here are simple ways to move around more climate-friendly.

Tips & Alternatives for Sustainable Mobility

Cycle Instead of Driving

-Ideal for distances of 5–10 km — fast, affordable, and emission-free.
-Bonus: regular cycling strengthens your heart and cardiovascular system.

Walk More Often

-Choose walking instead of short car trips. Good for you — and for the climate.
-Use everyday errands as an opportunity to stay active.

Use Public Transport

-Buses, trains, and trams reduce traffic, save CO₂, and get you to your destination stress-free.
-Monthly or yearly passes are well worth it.

Car Sharing & Ride Sharing

-When you need a car, share it! Car-sharing services and ride-sharing apps reduce the number of vehicles and emissions.
-Especially practical in cities and for weekend trips.

Use E-Mobility Wisely

-Electric cars or e-scooters are only sustainable when charged with green electricity and used consciously.
-Ideal as a replacement for frequent car trips over medium distances.
