This week I decided to involve some of my friends in an investigation into roughly how long Union students spend in a car weekly. I decided to ask the simple question, “How long, roughly, do you think you spend in a car per week?” and recorded the responses I received. The data represents the amount of minutes a handful of Union students spend weekly in a car. The data reflects 50% of those interviewed spend 30 minutes or less in a car weekly and 50% spend more than 30 minutes in a car weekly. I was pleasantly surprised to find that all individuals I interviewed spent under an hour in a car on-average, which is limiting their carbon footprint on the environment when they are at school. The data is possibly a reflection of the small size of Union contributing to students choosing to walk distances instead of driving them. The warmer weather we are experiencing may also be contributing to this data.
