    Doubt I have ever been over 10,000 miles in a calendar year. I walk to work unless the weather is totally horrible most days which allows us to be a one car family.

    But because I don't believe the right things I'm a horrible person... am told this repeatedly by people who fly regularly, commute 20K per year so they can live in CA with the insane 'anti-sprawl' laws preventing building housing where the jobs insist on remaining, and generally have such a massive footprint they are guilt tripped into supporting green policies even more unsustainable than their current lifestyle.

    Curious.

    So walking to work somehow makes the distance to your work place shorter?

      I think his point is that he has to live very close to his job in order to be able to walk. (Probably less than three miles/4.8 kilometers, which would be about an hour's worth of walking.)
