To Walk or To Drive: That Is the (Carbon) Question

The following news release from the Pacific Institute is regarding a case study conducted as a response to one carried out by environmentalist Chris Goodall in his book for his book How to Live a Low-Carbon Life. Goodall examines the emissions of driving versus walking for a 1.5 mile roundtrip and discovers that for a meat intensive diet, emissions from driving this short distance are similar or less than those created from the consumption of beef and dairy to replace calories burned in walking.
