Lower Metro Manila CO2 emissions cited as benefit of ‘co-living’
April 19, 2019
MANILA—Metro Manila’s greenhouse gas emissions were reduced by 875 metric tons last year as more young professionals opted for co-living spaces instead of commuting by car daily to work, according to a recent survey.
Co-living spaces are upscale dormitories that cater to young professionals instead of students.
Tangere Marketing Survey and co-living operator MyTown said young professionals mostly commute by jeepneys, buses and private cars, which are major sources of carbon emissions.
