![]() ![]() ![]() New York's suburbs are three times as polluting as the national average and more than even some rural areas like Giltner. So the average carbon footprint of people in suburbs can be many times more than the national average carbon footprint. Similarly larger houses means 2.5 times more emission than the houses in the city center, according to data from Berkeley's interactive map. The emissions due to transport are four times that of the city center. Manhasset, one of its suburbs in the Nassau county, has an average footprint of 72.4, and is double that of New York City. New York City's suburbs, for example, are not as green as the city center. Suburbs are thus responsible for 50% of household emissions in the U.S. Moreover, the sprawling suburbs means people are also clocking up more miles. People living in the suburbs are more affluent than those in the city center, so they have larger houses. UC Berkeley News has found that larger a city, is the larger is its suburb. Suburbs Have Higher Footprints Than City Centers Transport is four times and housing is three times more polluting in Giltner than in New York.Ĭontributions from food, goods, and services are nearly the same in both rural and urban areas. On the other hand, people in Giltner in Hamilton County in Nebraska produce an average of 65.3 MCET, with the maximum source being transport which is responsible for 23 MCET.Houses are typical smaller and need less energy to warm. People in New York produce only 5 and 7 MCET through travel and housing, since they use public transport or travel short distances. New York City has an average carbon footprint of 32.6 metric carbon equivalent tons (MCET).You can compared these differences by using the interactive carbon footprint map by the University of Berkeley at CoolClimate Calculator. Travel and size of homes are the main reasons why rural populations can emit twice as much carbon as their urban counterparts One of the biggest differences in carbon footprint is between rural and urban dwellers. ![]()
