I thought I read somewhere that the energy use per person of the subway isn't all that much less than cars. But I am not an environmentalist so I frankly don't care; I favor transit over cars for other reasons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609536178570975752.post-37970107834786996692009-01-07T08:20:00.000-08:002009-01-07T08:20:00.000-08:00I'm actually surprised we don't hear about that mo...I'm actually surprised we don't hear about that more often. I share 750 square feet with my boyfriend. Considering it would be difficult to find a studio under 400 square feet if we lived apart, that's pretty good energy savings on heat and a/c, not to mention energy saved in constructing housing. We also share one fridge, one tv, one oven, etc., as opposed to each of us having one if we lived apart. This all adds up to more energy savings. Neither of us drives, but I imagine households that do drive save a lot of energy sharing rides as well -- only one trip to the grocery store instead of two, one trip to dinner, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
