Discuss what you think would be the most effective strategies for encouraging more sustainable transport use

Dr Zoe Robinson, Keele University, Greening Business: An online teaching resource. Activity 2: Devising a transport strategy You are working as the Environmental Manager for a local zoo. You have been asked to look into ways to reduce transport-related emissions. 1)The import and export of animals to and from the zoo is just one aspect of travel-related emissions. Give five different aspects (or areas where transportation occurs) that should be considered when developing a strategy to reduce transport-related emissions at the zoo. 2)Outline two strategies that you would recommend that the zoo puts in place in order to reduce transport-related emissions associated with each of the five areas of transport that you identified above.
