The carbon footprint of this trip is 42.14 pounds of CO2

The distance between Elkhart, Indiana, and Angola, Indiana, is around 50 to 60 miles. The fastest route, which is 54 miles, will take 1 hour and 3 minutes to drive non-stop. This route has a carbon footprint of 42.14 pounds of CO2, or 0.79 pounds of CO2 per mile.

To put this into context, let's look at some CO2 equivalents. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, the average carbon dioxide output rate for electricity generated in 2021 was 852.3 lbs CO2 per megawatt-hour. This means that the carbon footprint of this trip is equivalent to the emissions from using 0.05 megawatts of electricity for an hour.

Another way to understand the impact of this trip is to compare it to the carbon dioxide emitted by an average gasoline-powered passenger vehicle. The weighted average combined fuel economy of cars and light trucks in 2021 was 22.9 miles per gallon. With an average vehicle mileage of 10,746 miles per year, we can calculate that an average vehicle emits around 420 metric tons of CO2 equivalent per vehicle per year. The carbon footprint of this trip is equivalent to what an average vehicle would emit in around 2.4 miles.

Finally, let's look at an example from nature. According to the US EPA, a medium-growth deciduous tree planted in an urban setting and allowed to grow for 10 years can sequester 38 lbs of carbon. This is equivalent to sequestering 0.06 metric tons of CO2. The carbon footprint of this trip is equivalent to the amount of carbon sequestered by around 725 young trees.
