CR Blog just posted on Acne, an advertising company that's used a gorgeous conceptual art piece to illustrate the benefits of taking the bus over driving a car:

Every day thousands of cars drive to and from the airport releasing tons of unnecessary carbon dioxide. If everyone parked their car and travelled [sic] collectively, the environment would be much better off. Because the average car in Sweden has 1,2 passengers. A coach can take over 50.

Sweet photos after the jump.
