Dutch people cycle an average of 2.6 kilometres each per day. If this pattern was replicated worldwide, the study suggests, annual global carbon emissions would drop by 686 million tonnes.
This mammoth figure exceeds the entire carbon footprint of most countries, including the UK, Canada, Saudi Arabia and Australia.
eh, germany (whole country area) has a density of 300 people/km², while amsterdam has a density of 3800 people/km².
You’re comparing a city vs a whole country including farms and forests where nobody lives??
yeah true should have phrased that better.
still netherlands has a higher population density than the entire midwestern US. too lazy to search numbers rn.
