Classic car drivers are not into CO2 compensation (Question of the week)
12/23/2019
Of course, classic cars are not the biggest CO2 sinners and their contribution is hardly significant in the grand scheme of things. Nevertheless, perhaps one or two classic car drivers are thinking about how they could soothe their ecological conscience, or not?
In a question of the week , we asked Zwischengas readers whether classic car drivers would like to neutralize their CO2 emissions.
As many as 395 responded and their verdict was clear:
57.5 percent see no reason to offset their CO2 emissions and pay for it.
However, there are another 42.5 percent and these are divided into the other four possible answers.
15.7 percent stated that they would be happy to do something if they were convinced of the offsetting measure and it was not too expensive.
A further 11.9 percent would even be happy to offset their CO2 emissions and pay the necessary money to do so.
And 4.3 percent are already one step further and offset their CO2 emissions with certificates or other measures.
This leaves 10.6 percent who cannot do anything with any of the answers. Some have also explained (by email) why this is the case. They argue, for example, that a vintage or classic car, used sensibly, can certainly be an ecological vehicle; after all, all the energy required for its manufacture has long been amortized and the CO2 emissions on the road are only slightly higher than those of modern cars. Of course, you can also look at it that way.
Here are the answers in graphic form:
The next "question of the week " has already been posed. This time we want to know how much interest there still is in pre-war classic cars.
And, of course, you can still read all the evaluations of the previous "Question of the Week" contributions in the corresponding topic channel.
