One of the greatest benefits of living in Europe is their rail system. Having options for travel is a luxury and even better when the alternative is more sustainable for the planet. The USA needs to get on track (pun intended) and make rail travel more accessible for all. 

According to a European Environment Agency (EEA) graph, planes can be 20 times worse than trains per transport kilometre, and opting to take the train instead of a plane is one of the most effective ways for travellers to reduce their carbon footprint.
