Europe will launch long train routes to reduce carbon emissions

The increasing carbon footprint is a major concern these days, and every country is making efforts to reduce it. However, we all know that the only way to reduce carbon emissions while traveling is by choosing a sustainable mode of transportation.

Train journeys in Europe are experiencing a revival since flight-free travel is gaining popularity. However, the country still wants to promote conscious travel for sustainability

According to Eurostar, a high-speed passenger railway service in the UK, a flight from London to Paris generates 14 times as much carbon dioxide as taking the train. After keeping this in mind, European countries are now more inclined to construct railroads that offer better and faster connectivity than introducing more international flights.
