[Poll] Should people walk more and drive less ?
January 17, 2008 - 03:13 PM

" If we accept the assumption that a 'gas guzzling' Hummer will last three times as long as an evironmentally friendly Toyota Prius; due to the evironmental damage caused in the production process, and particularly because the Prius has two batteries, one of which contains nickel, it can be argued that it is more evironmentally friendly to drive a Hummer!
The evironmentalist, Crist Goddall, has caculated the the average three mile journey to a surpermarket by car produces 0.9kg of CO2. To walk such a distance will use up about 180 calories. To replace these calories, given the evironmentally damaging way which we currently produce food will cause 3.6kg of CO2 if the calories are repleced by eating 100g of beef and 1.2kg of Co2 if one were to drink 3/4 pint of milk. Therefore if we want to help the evironment, stop walking and drive everywhere."

I live in America, I'm a full-time student, and have a job. I have no time to walk 3 miles, and I also can not afford a hybrid car because they cost 10,000-15,000 more than regular cars. It's a sad situation were in. I see no solution in the near future, and I wish it wasn't like that but it is.

How about using a bicycle? That 3 mile walk would go by in a snap on a bicycle. Bicycles are also $9,500-$14,500 cheaper than regular cars!

They are great for your health, figure and pocketbook. How about it?
