Eurostar is bigging up its green credentials to attract some of the short haul fliers who are worried about their carbon emissions.
You will already be aware that Eurostar's 186 mph high-speed train service has become the number one choice for travellers between London, Ebbsfleet, Ashford, Paris, Brussels, Lille, Calais, Disneyland Resort Paris, Avignon and the French Alps. But that's not all - don't forget that Eurostar is also a more environmentally friendly option.
Flying between London, Paris and Brussels generates ten times more emissions of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) per traveller than going by Eurostar.
Eurostar is also committed to generating even less carbon dioxide emissions per traveller in future years and has pledged to achieve a reduction of 25% per traveller journey by 2012 (compared to 2006).
Taking the train is now a truly attractive greener alternative to flying.
I have never took eurostar, but I would gladly give it a go. Especially as now I don't drive! Have you used Eurostar before?
