When it comes to climate emissions, men outdrive women.<\/p>\n

A new study has found that men\u2019s consumer habits are responsible for 16% more greenhouse gas emissions than women. The difference is largely due to men spending more on petrol and diesel for their cars, the Guardian reported<\/a>.\u00a0Researchers, however, did not include work vehicle fuel, including taxis and employment-specific vans, in their data.<\/p>\n

Despite the gendered emission difference, the study reported little difference in the amount of money single Swedish men and women spent on emission-making purchases.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe way they spend is very stereotypical \u2014 women spend more money on home decoration, health and clothes and men spend more money on fuel for cars, eating out, alcohol and tobacco,\u201d study author Annika Carlsson Kanyama told the publication of her research, which was published Monday<\/a> in the Journal of Industrial Ecology.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For both men and women, vacations were the most significant source of their emissions, followed by transport for men and food for women.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Study authors \u2014 who set out to investigate \u201chow consumption-based greenhouse gas emissions from private households can be reduced\u201d according to their abstract \u2014 found that by eating plant-based foods instead of meat and dairy, and going on train-based vacations instead of plane- or car-based ones, both male and female emissions were cut by 40%.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The proportion of emissions holidays accounted for took the researchers by surprise. \u201cThat is a lot more than I expected,\u201d Carlsson Kanyama told the Guardian, qualifying the proposed diet and holiday transit alternatives as \u201csubstantial changes\u201d but ones which \u201cat least you don\u2019t need to get yourself another job, or borrow money from the bank\u201d for.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While cutting down on personal emissions has become increasingly prioritized by many people as the climate crisis worsens, previous data have clearly shown that the vast majority of damage is done by only a handful of companies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe great tragedy of the climate crisis is that seven and a half billion people must pay the price \u2013 in the form of a degraded planet \u2013 so that a couple of dozen polluting interests can continue to make record profits,\u201d leading climate scientist Michael Mann told the Guardian<\/a> in\u00a02019. \u201cIt is a great moral failing of our political system that we have allowed this to happ<\/a>en.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Switching to train-based vacations and a plant-based diet cuts down individuals\u2019 emissions by nearly half, researchers found. <\/figcaption>
