I cycle to and from work, in London, 14 miles a day round trip. If it's driving rain I take the train.

Keeps me fit, costs me nothing and I get to the office feeling great. It's quicker than any other mode of transport save for maybe a motorbike. Almost carbon neutral, other than the production cost for the bike I suppose.



My point is that although Jason is not a shining beacon of sustainable living such as yourself, by living close to his workplace - and often working from home - he is not exactly the raging consumer of carbon resources that you make him out to be.


And I guess the energy used to grow the extra food you consume by doing more physical activity.


I wonder how much energy is being consumed in providing you with a shower when you get to work. I mean.. you are showering after a 7 mile bike ride.. right? ;-)
