Walking to the shops ‘damages planet more than going by car’
Walking to the shops ‘damages planet more than going by car’
Food production is now so energy-intensive that more carbon is emitted providing a person with enough calories to walk to the shops than a car would emit over the same distance. The climate could benefit if people avoided exercise, ate less and became couch potatoes. Provided, of course, they remembered to switch off the TV rather than leaving it on standby. and “The troubling fact is that taking a lot of exercise and then eating a bit more food is not good for the global atmosphere. Eating less and driving to save energy would be better.” I guess being a vegatarian couch potato consumming little food would be the best practices for an individual in order to save the planet.

[/ QUOTE ] Stop the federal government from subsidizing roads and specific plants like corn and you solve this problem very easily. [/ QUOTE ] Hope we're not subsidizing beef because that may be a bigger problem: The sums were done by Chris Goodall, campaigning author of How to Live a Low-Carbon Life, based on the greenhouse gases created by intensive beef production. “Driving a typical UK car for 3 miles [4.8km] adds about 0.9 kg [2lb] of CO2 to the atmosphere,” he said, a calculation based on the Government’s official fuel emission figures. “If you walked instead, it would use about 180 calories. You’d need about 100g of beef to replace those calories, resulting in 3.6kg of emissions, or four times as much as driving.
