Wealthy people with environmental ideals are the biggest emitters

Why? Required, or choose to?

I think my point is that the amount of work flying someone does is less likely to be affected by their environmental ideals than their personal flying. 

 

For example a company CEO could choose to never fly for personal reasons but is unlikely to be able to do the same regarding work travel regardless of their personal beliefs, so not considering this distinction introduces a source of bias into the analysis.

How many were on the bus.

Average 8? Probably 20 used it in total.

bus does about 6MPG, 

It was going that way anyway. So close to zero fuel used for us.

In term time it would have been packed.

 

It is possible some of those people don't have a car and were coming back from hospital.

Solve the local link, e.g with affordable (subsidised) electric taxi'

Exactly. One solution is that your local community has a vehicle and volunteer drivers plus a free parking agreement at the bus stop.

Stand as a local councillor and you can do this using the huge fund that the wind turbine people will give you.
