How Much Carbon Does An Automobile Emit?

On average, 28% of the planet's yearly CO2 emissions stem from transportation, and of that 28%, everyday automobiles account for more than 1/3 of the overall problem, with an average of 10,141.3 lbs of carbon per year.

Carbon emissions breakdown between the five forms of transportation:

  • Automobiles: 40%
  • Trucks: 34%
  • Aviation: 11%
  • Marine: 11%
  • Railways: 4%

Why Are We Teaming Up With The Carbon Offset Company?

"When we first heard of The Carbon Offset Company and learned of their efforts, we knew that this was a project we wanted to be a part of. Although vehicles are becoming more fuel-efficient, they still present negative effects that endanger our environment. By pledging to plant 15 trees to offset carbon emissions for each vehicle that we put on the road; we know that we are helping our customers make a difference for generations to come."

- Patrick J. Downes, Director of Marketing

What Are The Benefits of Planting Trees?

  • Restore animal habitats
  • Restore local rainfall patterns
  • Allow water tables to rise, which will improve water purity
  • Stop flooding and soil erosion, increasing soil quality
  • Offset the carbon emissions that a vehicle adds

Where Are We Planting?

With carbon emissions being a global issue, our planting efforts span the globe. We plant as close as the Finger Lakes National Forest and as far as Madagascar. We like planting close to home for obvious reasons, but we also plant in areas further away due to the high-impact benefits it provides to the communities there.

By including far away areas such as Senegal, Haiti, and Madagascar, Ruge's Subaru is able to aid in the much-needed employment and reforestation efforts to a region that so desperately needs it.
