TU Delft would like to invite you to consider your travel options and encourage you to take a train or a bus to your destination. To travel green is to make a simple choice to lessen your negative impact on the environment, on a given destination and on its local people. Individually you can make that change today to make a big difference tomorrow. Let's make an effort together! The European Commission's programme Erasmus+ which supports students wishing to study abroad also sees the importance of Green Travel. Erasmus + wants its participants to leave a positive impact and the smallest ecological footprint possible. They are introducing funding in the form of a 'top up' grant to students that travel sustainably within the Erasmus + programme. For more grant information please visit our Erasmus + Study or Internship pages. If you are looking for inspiration and ideas, Erasmus + published their own E-zine 'Go Green' It's definitely worth a read. More detailed and up-to-date information can be found on the following websites: Wat is je CO2-voetafdruk? | Milieu Centraal and http://ecopassenger.hafas.de/bin/query.exe/en?L=vs_uic& Why travel by train or bus?
| International trains to The Netherlands For this reason, we're engaging in a fossil-free, circular and green enterprise, for and by everyone. In doing so, we contribute to the Paris Agreement and make a significant contribution to achieving the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. A mobile, accessible society contributes to a healthy and vibrant economy. Travelling by train is better for the environment than many other forms of transport. It also connects people and ensures social contact. NS is a leader in sustainable mobility and wishes to remain so. NS has a major impact on society in the Netherlands. Our travellers already travel in a climate-neutral manner through energy efficiency and the use of green energy, without CO2 emissions.
