His calculation that walking to the grocery store generates more greenhouse gases than driving is rocketing around the blogosphere, kicked into overdrive by an Aug. 4 London Times story sporting the delightfully inflammatory headline <A href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/science/article2195538.ece" target="_blank">"Walking to the shops 'damages planet more than going by car.'"</A> </p> <P> Goodall's explanation is that the exercise required to walk burns calories that need to be replaced with additional food. If those calories come in the form of beef, he argues, more greenhouse gases are emitted during the process of creating that beef that would have been generated by the car drive.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.salon.com/tech/htww/2007/08/06/driving_vs_walking/index.html">this doesn't mean we should always choose to use air or car travel instead of walking. It means we need urgently to work out how to reduce the greenhouse gas intensity of our foodstuffs.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/320A74EF-E4B4-48FE-8434-2FF2ABA6751F/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
