STATS & FACTS
Percentage of Global Emissions from Transport within the tourism sector
is attributable to air travel
Aircraft not only create CO2 but also non-CO2 emissions such as water vapour, aerosols and nitrogen oxides. This can increase air travel climate impact by 2 to 4 times
A full single decker bus can replace around 40 cars, making buses a great option for sustainable travel where rail networks are
not available
Globally the proportion of urban residents who have convenient access to public transport
The average European car in the EU emits 1.8 tons of CO2 in a year
In Europe there is a 9,100 km high-speed rail network and an increasing number of cross border night trains means that the train can be considered a true alternative to the airplane for cross-Europe travel.

In 2007, Leigh became co-presenter of the BBC's Ski Sunday series with Graham Bell after his commentary at the 2006 Winter Olympics helped bring the snowboarding to life: his memorable exclamation "Drama! Jacobellis is down!" at the comedic climax of the Women's Snowcross Final made his name.[citation needed] Leigh has commentated on snowboarding events at the all subsequent Winter Olympics.

Hamish Duncan
An ex-professional snowboarder turned digital designer, photographer and maker. I record contemporary social issues, focusing on environment, identity and mental health through the medium of photography. My pictures are a representation of my intuitive sense of metaphor and creative vision, and in series form dictate nuanced narratives on my chosen subjects. Past projects include ‘Balaenidae’, a series of typologies on Amsterdam’s plastic pollution, for the NGO Plastic Whale; and TwentyTwo, a photographic exploration of the shadow self, from which an image, ‘Fountain of Youth Niland’, was selected for the final exhibition of Wells Arts Contemporary in 2018.
Oütlas is an encyclopedia of action sports and adventure travel, a world atlas of specialist gear, local guides, and authentic stores for rental and repair. We aim to catalogue over 10,000 data points, with tonnes of thousands yet to be researched and mapped. The popular shapes, as well as the forgotten graphics and terrain of every resort, region and backcountry in the world.
In winter 2018/19 I drove the Patagonia WornWear 'tiny house' for the crew of seamsters where the program concept for the encyclopedia to decarbonise action sports and adventure came about.
