New transport campaign to start in Elche
Elche is facing up to climate change and launching a new campaign designed to get people to leave the car at home. Leaflets are to be distributed and there will be conferences held to explain the idea of the initiative.
It will start after Easter according to local councillor for transport, Antonio Amorós. He said that he wanted to see ‘a more rational use of private vehicles in the town’, and to promote public transport. The campaign will also give information on how to drive efficiently, checking type pressures regularly for example.
Amorós said that cars were responsible for 10% of the CO2 emitted into the atmosphere and that a car which does 20,000 kms a year needs a forest the area of three football pitches to compensate.
