Walking Damages Planet More Than Cars

(Times - U.K.) Walking does more than driving to cause global warming, a leading environmentalist has calculated.

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.

“If you try to walk, I’ll tax your feet - Taxman!"
